I have that exact setup. I dropped it about 2 weeks ago. Very comfy ride. I have to admit is still a lil mushy. But I like it. Im not really into the hardcore stiffness for this car. But you will definately notice its alot more firmer than the stocks.

benzo555,

When you look rear tires from the back, do you notice the camber being off?

I like the look of the H&R Sport but notice on some Accord and TL that the there is a visible change in camber in the rear.

Thanks

Thanks badazz.. I will have rims coming next month as well.

Neo no visible changes of camber from what I can see. Everyone told me that there was no camber issues with H&R Sports. I will do an alignment in the next week since I have finals to deal with.

I know a few people that have had very very bad experiences with tokico. Very teeth chattering ride which increases stiffness on large bumps. However...I am not speaking from personal expertise.
I would do some research on KYB. They do not make them specifically for the TL however same setup as the 99 accord.

I have the H&R Sports but with stock shocks and the same chromies... I've had them for a little over a year now and the only issue is the front camber... after they settle, the car will be lower than in those pics, the rear camber will be visible but the tires will wear evenly (atleast for the stock tires) and the front camber will NOT be visible but you WILL get uneven wear... make sure you rotate the tires around pretty often and try to make sure your wheels are always aligned... a year later and I need another alignment already. Another thing, those stock chromies suck major ass... they're all bent out of shape... In another year, I think you'll be shopping for new rims like I am doing right now
