Post springs & 19-z

have a 96 3.2 wit 19-z. the only tire i could use was a 235 35 19, i think it looks 2 small, so i wanna lower the car. the only drop listed for my car is 1.2 in front 1.2 in back. 2.5 tl can be dropped lower, why? can i use the sportline springs for the 2.5 on my 3.2???

i talked to the guys over at www.shox.com and they said that ground control makes a set for the 1st gen TL. you might want to give them a call. thats a 1 to 3 inch drop u can have.

I was told that Tokico made shocks by a rep from an ad from sport compact car. Plus that is what a tech at the Acura dealer recommended I get when it is time for shocks.
