Post Pics of my TL with H&R Drop

I took these pics with my GF's cheap digicam, so the quality isn't that great. Had to take her 2000 Accord EX 4cyl in for a brake job. I was driving her Accord, and man....it felt like a tin can. The whole time driving to the Honda dealer, I was looking in the rear view mirror...

Here are pics of my car 1 week after dropping it on H&R OEM Springs.

Looks good, but how's the ride? I am getting some suspension goodies and would really like to hear your opinion about the spring and the sway. How does it feel when you have the sway but without the spring? Do you get less nose dive with the new spring?

Nice, it seems that your front has settled more than mine and mine has been on for about a month.

intresting.

That's the 1.25" drop right? You could/should have gone with the 1.75".. Unless you plan on gettin 19s that is.

On the parts page it states FR1.25 R1.0, but I'm guessing thats for the Accord. I'd say it looks pretty close to a comptech drop?

I had a 91 teg that was dropped 2.5 inches. It handled like it was on rails, but over speed bumps, down/up curbs, it was a pain in the @ss. I wanted better handling without having to deal with that again. I'm very happy with the drop...can't beat saving 130 dollars!

Well, only reason I brought it up was that I do have the HR 1.75 drop, and another one of my friends has the same but on 18s, they had to shave alot off the fender but his TL looks good, almost as good as mine.. lol
