Yeah been driving it today, and yes its bouncy a little bit, yeah when i took out the struts in the front all of the dry rot cushion came out i had put some rubber things in it but didnt help so, yeah i will get some new struts next week but i will have someone put them on, changing those springs was tiresome. and what lips ? and why the H emblem ? i will take some pics of her tomorrow i just washed it tonight so will do that in the morning sometime

but i was talking about the shock/struts because i priced some at Autozone, and they were 85.00 a piece, so i was wondering if like Honda Accords would have been cheaper if they were to fit my car.But what your saying about the strut bar, they dont sell after market strut bars for the TL ?

I found out what happen, i called the place i bought them from and they said it was the right springs, and to call the manufacture so i did, an the guy told me that they had printed the labels wrong on a batch of springs, so right now i have the front springs which should be on the back and the back springs which should be on the front

I would do that but it rubs when i make a tight turn right on top of the finder, i like how the front looks but i need to switch those springs around this weekend and see what it looks like from there, cause the springs are a 2" drop all around so im not so sure on how it will sit
but i will change them out this weekend going to take all day again lol

can someone tell me, since my car is the last of the 1st gen TL's is it possible that it has a 1999 rear suspension on it ? something like a mid production thing ? cause thats what Dropzone is telling me the springs they sent was for my car, but since they didnt fit right in the back, that its a 1999 suspension on it ? can someone verify this for me please ?

buy these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GROUN...spagenameZWD1V
use with koni yellows for 94-97 accord, i think krayziedxc posted the numbers above
minimal mods need to be done to make them fit (drill out the top hats to fit the koni shaft, order 94-97 accord specific GC sleeves to kit the konis and use the front sleeve in the rear and vice versa) see https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...7&page=1&pp=40 for how i did it
and you get this
yes its pricey but it's your only option if you own a UA3, ground control used to have a prokit for the 3.2 but i don't see it for sale anymore...
good luck
