This year, I plan on dropping my car and getting the 3.2 bumper.

I have located a bumper and just need to order it.

The suspension I am having some issues with. Since there are not many shocks that are out there for our cars, we have to piece our suspension together.

I don't want coilovers so that is out of the story.

I am thinking about Accord 90-97 Tockico HP shocks. Will they work?

Then I am thinking about getting some springs but I cannot decide which ones that I want to get.

Any ideas would help. Thanks.

 

The Tokico HP (blues) for the 90-97 Accords work well on the 2.5. Just be aware that the shocks by themselves will lower the 2.5 TL by about 3/4". So factor that in when you choose springs. Probably will need a camber kit in the rear.

 

^ what about for the 3.2 , will those shock lower it 3/4"?

 

I am driving my car from last few months without any camber kits.(I already bought them but just lazy to install ) Tires seem to be fine so far. No uneven wear what so ever..

 

Eibach Sportline part #

Part Number: 41140

Drop Rate: F - 1.7" R - 1.7"


shocks that fit 2.5TL

tokico blues

tokico illuminas

KYB AGX adjustable

koni yellows

OR you can use 1G TSX springs, dunno about the drop numbers though...

 

see... it actually wears pretty evenly unless your toe is off.

 

I'm going to go with an Eibach Pro-kit I believe.

I want it to be low but not too low.

Thanks for the replies guys.

 

I had the pro kit on my old TL, didn't replace shocks - just the springs.

 

I'm just going to do both at once so I don't have to worry about it down the road.

 

So would the Eibach Pro-kit and Blues combo work?

 

Yes..

 

Nice.

That means that the front should drop 1.95" and the rear will drop 1.75" after the shock and spring combo.

Shocks ~ 0.75" drop
Springs (F)1.2" drop (R) 1" drop.

It is going to look official. So am I going to need a camber kit? Which one should I go with?

 

I don't think so but if you are really worried about it, get it. I have no issues with any camber wear. Make sure toe is in specs. Remember, out if specs toe kills tires quickly than camber..

 

Damn...

My toes aren't in spec. I got it aligned a while back and it wasn't good.

 

Alright so today I dug up the alignment diagram that I got after I got my car aligned and the notes that it had on it was that I had a frozen shim?

How hard is it to replace those? Cost? Etc.?

 

Hey TLin401, if your lowering your car with the Eibach Pro kit and replacing the shocks with Tokico Blues, I would be interested in buying your stock set up. Front Springs and Struts and Rear Springs and Shocks. Let me know if your interested. I could even meet you half way like the northern tip of CT if your interested.

Please let me know.

I currently have the Eibach Pro Kit and Tokico Blues with a Camber Kit in the rear but I want to lift it to stock ride height again. With the past snow we have had and potholes I think the normal ride height it better for me.

Thanks.
