Expect major hammering as the rear fender is no room so you have to hammer + roll and pull.
Thanks for the info, does it ride decent?

Oh alright cool atleast i know now what suspension works i really appreciate it again seeing as no one else seems to say yes or no haha, hopefully ill have some pictures of the TL on here soon, gotta stop dumping money into my civic

Made 430hp and ran a 10.90 @132, not too shabby for a street car.

haha I haven't been on here in a while. I almost bought some omni power coilovers for my 96 2.5 but they are sold. I am now looking to purchase some TEIN basic coilovers for a prelude for decent price.

Funny how I was in question about spring rates for stock oem 2.5 springs when I found this thread page as a result on google. I fricken LOVE you used FF1 coilovers when so many dropped TLs are just springs. I found a lot of useful knowledge of the 2.5 being compatible with the 94-97 accords on here and was determined to just get some full body 1pc coilovers based on this information to dump mine.

So the debate I've seen most is making sure of spring rates of other cars vs 2.5 because of the heavier car. When using aftermarket springs/coilovers, the spring rates are higher anyways so why does it matter. So if the accord is 200F 175R and the FF1 is say 600F 400R, that will handle the weight difference I would hope. Accord about 2850 vs 2.5tl 3200lbs?? so not a big difference and spring rates can be changed.

17s look so right on this car! I plan to get some 17x7 RSX s wheels for daily use until my del sol is drivable again. Then I can put out the cash for some nice 2 piece wheels.

How much adjust-ability is there as far as height goes? I had them on an old Accord but just dumped it and left it, not sure I want to be that low anymore

A couple of things: He probably won't answer as the last post before yours in from last August. Do you seriouly like that look? To me, it looks like hell and can't be at all good for the car running the wheels cocked like that. But, as they say, to each; his own.
