how much did it lower your ride? i think their site says 2.1" in front and 1.6" in the rear. however, it has the same model number as the 98+ accords which is 4041.140, but it lists a smaller and even 1.5" drop on the accord.
i was thinking about getting them too, but what gives?

I don't have Eibachs, but the drop is more on the TL/TLS because of the weight, and more of a drop in the front because of the weight distribution. As for it being the same part number as the 98+ V6 Accords, is.... ALL springs for the TL/TLS have the same part number as the 98+ V6 Accord, EVEN the Comptech. Some people try to tell me that Comptech designed them for the TL, but I have yet to see sufficiant proof. Even if it was made for the CL, it wouldn't made specifically for the TL, let alone TLS. So, being that all of them are made to work for Accords, CL, TL, CLS, TLS... go with the one that has the drop you want. Eibach, H&R, Comptech, even Nuespeed... as long as they are progressive... they will work.
As for me, I'm still trying to figure out which springs to get that give me the drop I want in front without making the wheel gap in the rear any smaller than the front. I DO NOT want the wheel gap in the front to be more than in the back. Right now, I am thinking of H&R. Still hoping RAdams or bricot sends me pics of the wheel gap comparing front to rear.

Volk rims are sweet-and expensive-and light weight- also one of the softest (metal) rims around.. Anyone I know with Volks in NY had bent them. A rim repair shop by me says their most popular rims that come in to be fixed are Volks.....'nuff said.
