Lowering Springs?

Hey guys, all of you that have lowered your Tl's, I was looking for feedback concerning lowering springs and your experiences with them. I was look at the H&R's, Comptechs, Eibach's, and Tein's S-tech's. Which one seems to be the best for our cars and gets rid of that ugly gap the best? Info and pictures appreciated. Thanks

i went with the H&R sport springs. I am thankful i didnt go with the comptechs since they are now replacing them with the eibach's. Ive driven around in a eibach setup and they are really stiff....

h&r sports are good I have heard, but tein SS coilovers are much better, if you are getting shocks it maybe cheaper to get the coilovers you wont be disappointed in the performance

I'm happy with my setup. I got H&R Sport Springs teamed up with Koni Sport Yellow Adjustables. No such sagging in the rear as people have been saying. Plus I am comfortably low enough to look sweet but high enough to be able to go over reasonable driveways without scraping. Personally I think coil overs aren't worth their money since I don't need to adjust anything with such a perfect height. Total cost was <$600. Also, with the sport drop, you won't need a camber kit. The stock arms are able to align the tires back to stock spec though I'm sure you will want some camber if you drive aggresively.

Those are the new H&R sports (50103) designed for the TL. The older Accord ones tended to sag in the rear.

Yeah, I would love to get the TEin SS, but they are a bit out my price range that i am looking to spend. So everyone really likes the HR sports huh? Does anyone have the Tein S-tech spring?
