New spring question

I know I know this questions about springs have been going for a while.
Sorry about bringing this question again.

I see that H&R offer 2 different model number for 00-01(#51858) and 02+ TL (#50103).
What is the difference? I am too debating between H&R and Comptech.
I do not want to change out my stocks until they wear out but still want to lower my ride.

Some say the height is the same between comptech and H&R. Is it really the same? I mean the new H&R (#50103)for 02+ TL. ?

Please help me!

#50103 is for the '02 TL, its the Sport Springs. This one should have around the same drop as the Comptech Springs. #51858 is for the previous TL, '99-'01, which is called the OE Sport Springs. This one has a more subtle drop compared to the previously mentioned.

the 51858 springs were designed for the accord. h&r recently made the 50103 springs to fix a problem with sagging in the rear with the 51858. i just installed my 50103 and the drop is even with a pretty heavy system in the trunk

But the 50103 is the "Sport" drop, not the "OE Sport" drop right?
