Accord Spring VS Cl Spring

Ok, i got a 03 acura CL 6 and i put the suspension on it from my accord, and put the cl springs and stuff on the accord. The CL got the Ingalls front and rear camber(share the exact same part number) Eibach sways (Share the same part Number) Koni yellows(share the exact same part number) and eibach pro kit, which is where the part number was different. The accord 4 banger is 4040.140 and the CL is 4041.140. The V6 shares the same, and the accord is 1.5 FR while the CL is 2.0 and 1.7. Im guessing the springs are the same, the CL for some reason just sits lower. The CL sits lower than my accord did when it was lower, and my accord looks like a lifted truck now, seems like atleast 2 inches higher than the accords stock suspension. Wheres the difference at? The springs? or has it just been to long and my accord really is at stock height? Serioulsly it looks really funky, looks like one of those caprice things people are doin now with 26"wheels.

How heavy is the CL? Are the spring rates different?

The CL weighs in at 3500lbs. I'm sure the springs are different for a reason.

the part number might be the amount of drop between the two.. if u're interested in springs, get the one for our cars... unless it's coilovers which i think you'll be fine.

Not trying to be a smart ass, just answering your question. Anyway, did some more research for you, and looks like the 4banger weighs between 400-500lbs less than the CL. http://corporate.honda.com/press/art...=2001090545249
So there's a reason your CL is lower than your accord was with the same springs.
Now close this thread.
