wow! nice...it looks lower than it's suppose to..more like the h&r sports than the oe's.

SLVR TL

I don't like how the front is higher than the rear. I thought I was going to get used to it after I see it every day for a long time... but I was simply going thru a denial stage. I finally concluded recently that I don't like it.

The rear is dropped just right... only if the front was dropped as much.

SLVR TL

These springs are made for Accords... I'm *guessing* TL is heavier than Accord. That explains the increased drop.

nice, i like it
gun metal baby!

Very Nice!!!!..Schweeet!!! Are those like black chrome polished???

SLVR TL

It's gun metal gray.
I like it cuz it's different (originality is the key here).

BTW, I changed my springs to Comptechs already. It rides nice and smooth. I think it give better accelaration due to reduced wind resistance with the front of the car being lower than the rear (as opposed to the front being higher than the rear, which was the case with H&R). Basically, I love my Comptechs. One thing tho, is that I was drving out of this parking lot. The ramp was hella steep. I took it at an angle... took it real slow... but still, I scraped my front chin spoiler. It's alright tho... it's the bottom of it where you can't see.

Now that Snook has good deals on the 02 tails, I'm going to get those. And I'm strongly considering Comptech Exhausts.

The rims are Volk Racing Versus Campionato SS7 18x7.5 52 offset. I bought them through Snook right here at AutoCarParts.com. It's very reasonably priced. You should check it out at the link above.


I saw a black GS 400 with the same exact rims today.


BTW, thanks everyone for the compliments!!

YEAH, MORE PICS!!
Really looks dope! Nice job.

Mr Hyde

Hows the ride of the Comptech's compared to the H&R's, which one has the softer ride? and did the H&R's improve on the handling at all compared to stock, how about the ride compared to stock? Thanx in advance

I'd say H&R were stiffer. But the stiffness was probably coming from the springs saggin. (Due to TL's weight being more than Accords, the springs were sagging.)

H&R definately improved handling over stock. And the ride was not too bad. (I'm used to driving real stiff cars.)

I'd go with Comptechs though. It lowers right and the ride quaility is not compromised. It's a bit softer than H&R but the handling is great. I can't actually compare H&R and Comptechs in terms of cornering capabilities. I think they were about the same... but when it comes to acceleration, Comptechs would be better due to the way it lowers the front more than the rear. Hope this helps.

Mr Hyde

Wow I would have thought the H&R OEM sports would have had the soter ride. Thanx alot for the info.
