Anyone know if 2002 Honda Accord lowering springs will fit a 2gen Type-S? I was told it will fit but ruin suspension and give uneven rub on tires? And if they fit what should I look at to make sure they are kosher and not garbage?

 

They're pretty much the same car so it should work. Look the springs up on the manufacturer website for both cars and see if they're the same part number. As for ruining the suspension, it really depends on the drop. A slight drop won't really affect much but an aggressive drop will cause camber wear on your tires.

 

Accord suspensions will fit the 2G TLs. The only reason they make the TL lower is because the TL is heavier than an accord thus the more drop using suspension built for a LIGHTER car.

 

nice! do you know if i am gonna rub when i lower it with 245/45/17?

 

You shouldn't rub. Typically you'd have to go lower than 2.5 inches to start rubbing.

 

be careful guy i have 245/45/17 and i rub at stock height when i have a car full of people and a trunk full of beer

 

make sure the springs arent for the 4 cyl, you only want to get ones that are for the 6

 

yea as long as there are for the v6 you will have no problem ,I am going to use the Megan Racing lowering springs and call the Megan rep and i told him i have a 00 tl and he checked with the tech reps and they said np problems ok

 

yeah they are from an 02 V6 sedan, is painting them ok? they are blue

 

You wont really see the color once the wheel is on

 

You haven't even mentioned the brand and you're worried about the color? Give me a break man, as fsttyms1 said it doesn't matter what color they are. Nothing wrong with a little contrast depending on the color of your car. Make sure you're picking up some quality springs, color doesn't matter, quality does.

 

my comptechs will be up for sale soon.. and there silv btw.

 

I'm sitting on accord springs right now. Everything turned out perfect.

 

they are eibach springs, even if you won't see em I'm still gonna paint black, I payed $50 from a kid who lost his job I couldn't pass them up

 

i wont worry bout painting them eibach got the red color plus the eibach springs have the rubber protection coating on them imo just let them alone ok

 

theasianeffect you have any front and rear pics? what size wheels do you have

 

 

sweet.. im loving the height, cant wait to get mine on

 

I've been wanting to my 03 TL but not sure how low I should go. How low is your front & rear?
