Question Problems with Eibach Pro Kit

i just bought a set of Eibach Prokit's for my 96 2.5TL. i ordered them from NOPI and they said that they fit my car. but when i took them to the suspension shop they said that they didn't fit. the packing list said that they are for a 94-97 Accord Wagon. now i know that the Accord and the TL have some interchangeable parts but is this right??? i was wondering if anyone else has had problems with the Eibach Prokit's on a 1st Gen TL???

I just got my Eibachs done the other day. He said that the CL and the Accord have very similar suspension.

the only reason that i ordered them from NOPI was b/c they were cheaper and they get here faster than if i ordered them from Tim. i ordered my foglights and it took forever. NOPI is based in Ga and that's where i live so it only takes a day to get here. my question still wasn't answered though.

I would find another shop if i were you.

Remember the lesson in all this... Order from Tim and will know for sure the part is right and that the shop is wrong!!

thanks for the opinions. i got them put in last night and they fit fine. the shop didn't know what they were doing. so i took them to another guy and we went to his house and he put them in in about 2 1/2 hours. they look good and there is definitely a big improvement in handling.
