Question springs and shocks...???

hey i was wondering if eibach prokit springs work well with tokico shocks??? i was also wondering if you drop your car with springs and shocks...will it mess up your suspension??


also if i was to drop my car with the eibach prokit and tokico shocks which means that i will only drop it about 1 in the back and 1.2 in the front ... will i need a camber kit??? can i go without a camber kit??

the springs will work with any strut( same as a shock but the tls have struts)
what doyou mean mess up
1)i wouldnt see how it would mess up your suspension
2) your ride will get a little worse that the stock ride but that is obvious with any change to the car

you dont NEED one but there is a little camber ( negative i think )
not noticable but you will see it on the tire wear

i have had my car dropped with the prokit for about a year and no problems and i dont have a camber kit either

I have had mine on for about a year also and there is no problem with wear in my case. When I had my alignment done he said everything is within factory spec when they were done.

I'm planning on buying some koni shocks/stuts and just stick with the stock springs. Do you guys think thats a good idea or should I just get a eibach prokit? I have 3.2 TL with 17" rims 215/40/17.

I just got the pro kit and tokicos on my 3.2-- its real low. THe shocks I got were an inch shorter then my OEMs so my car droped about 2.25". Its mad low--I have about 3-4 inches of ground clearence and about -.25 to -.5 inches of wheel well clearence. I'm still sitting on my stock wheels, so when I get some money I'll get some 18z and hopefully I won't scrape when I go into parking lots and over speedbumps. The shocks I got were for the V6 accord. Turning feels to be about 20-30% less body roll, and ride was not effected too much, except for on uneven roads.

I thought pro kit for a 3.2 can only drop 1.2 inches?

Yeah but the Tokicos are shorter since they're made for an Accord, not a TL. I have them sitting in my room. I still have to decide on either coil-overs or springs.

So if i want tokicos, it will have to be from a accord? How about koni yellows? It's for a 3.2.
