Can anyone help me???
Well I am new to this forum...someone told me there was a CL forum which is cool...
Anyways now onto the problem...I have a 99 2.3 CL and I got the Eibach sportlines from the 94-97 accords which everyone told me to get...the drop should have been 1.8 inches to maybe max 2 or even 2.25 inches...well when they were finally put on...the actual drop is like 3 inches to the point where I have to angle like crazy and half the time I still scratch...I hate that cuz its a B*tch to do and not practical for everyday driving... Does anyone know why it does this or if something is wrong? Or should I have put the 98-00 accord springs...? If I get the pro-kit which is supposed to do a 1.3 inch drop when put on my car will it turn into something like 2-2.25 inches or something...I was looking into H&R sports which drop it about 1.5-1.75 which is about the height i would want so when it settles it will be more like 2 inches if the number is correct on my car...Does anyone have any experience with this...Sorry about the long post but I appreciate any help from you guys...didnt know getting things for my car would be such a pain in the @ss...thanks guys

I would have thought about it but the comptech's only make it for the 2001 CL

I think they do only make them for the 01 CL's. Are you still on the stock shocks? That's kinda wierd...did it settle into 3inches or was it right away? Maybe upgrade to better shocks...
Anyways...im going to move this to 1st gen Forum, there's a lot of us over there that have springs
By the way, welcome to the board!
