Yes i've used the search button lol.

Ok after reading a while about the different springs you guys are running im still confused which one gives the lowest drop.

Tien S-Techs
H&R Sports

when i looked on the H&R website, it says the Super Sports give the most drop and the regular sports give the lowest drop.. so uh which one do i get?

Sorry guys, coilovers are out of the question on this one, id get them if i could but its just not an option right now.

Also i think i need some new shocks/struts... when looking from behind my car dips lower on the left then right

Thanks! Hopefully im getting some wheels soon.

The H&R race give the lowest drop, then comes the H&R sport, then the H&R OE as the least amount of drop.

If you are looking to go really low or as low as you can, get coilovers. If your looking to just get rid of the wheel well gap H&R Sports are the best spring. It will be a 1 finger or so gap and still retain a factory like ride.

I guess ill go with the H&R Sports. I said i couldnt get coilovers so thats out of the question. As for new struts which do i get?

Eibachs gave me a pretty good drop too.

iTrader: (9)

Nice! ^ I was thinking bout the tl-s wheels but im just gonna go with tl aspec ones instead

i didnt mention eibachs because i read someone say they dropped the ball on their springs so i just said H&R or Tiens

Aspecs look good on our cars.

Don't really know what that means, they worked fine for me. Have some used for sale by the way.

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

yea i had a choice of going aspecs or tsx wheels.

How much? whats the drop height compared to the H&R sports?

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

Each corresponding site says:

Eibach pro kit: Front 2.1
Rear 1.6

H&R sports: Front 1.75
Rear 1.5

iTrader: (9)

damn.. so eibachs give a lower ride height? hows the ride quality anyways?

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

Couldnt really complain, though I did have 100k on the original shocks. Ride was pretty good, no rubbing even with a full car.

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

lol im almost at 150k with stock springs/struts.. dang idk which route to go now.. eibachs or H&R

yeedatoy

Why are coilovers out of the question? Springs are $200, struts are $350 for some Tokico HP'S.......you shouldn't have a problem finding some slightly used coilovers for $550.

You can find brand new function and form coil overs for 550. 1320 performance in elk grove ca. They have a site.

fsttyms1

Dont be fooled by the 1/4 inch difference. They in reality will sit about the same.

h&r

iTrader: (23)

Pair with koni shocks. Hehe

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

at first i said coils are not an option because im not the only one that drives my car, my parents need it sometimes.. if the car is slammed and they drive it up a steep slope.. say goodbye to my bumper/lip. but shit if its 550 for ff1 coils then i guess ill go with coils then.

Function & Form Coils
or
H&R Sport Springs with Koni Yellow Struts

also can anyone help me find bnib function and form coils for cheap? Thanks!

btw my friend suggested get type 2 instead of type 1. im not sure what the difference is

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

Check them out.

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

that price isnt 550 anymore, its 630 now, id rather lowball an ebay seller for 550 or so

You have to call them out on it. Say you saw it on cl. Up to you though.

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

i think ill just go with the ebay ones, but which one of the links do i go for? the 98-02 accord or 03-07 accord.

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

98-02

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

alright i think im gonna shoot the trigger and get them. im gonna wait till next week to decide though. tough choice i only have 1k to spend

200 going to oem sides and west wing rear lip

600 for coilovers
OR
600 for new iphone 4S or 5 *waiting for official release dates

kidduce

iTrader: (1)

600 for the iPhone? Pretty sure it'll be less than that with a plan. Unless your going with out a contract.

It'll be announced Tuesday.

fsttyms1

Just because you have coilovers it doesnt mean it has to be slammed.

I have s-techs with HP blues..Great ride and just the drop I was looking for.

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

Yup im with t-mobile lol, i will never get on contract with att.

yea i know that, but if i do get coils itll most likely get slammed

tien s-techs? have any photos?

iTrader: (9)

Go to the DIY page and look at the lowering spring install. He uses S techs. Also there's a billion other threads with comparison pics for ALL lowering options for the TL.

yeedatoy

Why is it impossible to find pics of the H&R race springs on here? All I can find are the sports everywhere

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

V_langs was on H&R Race. Then he got FF Type 1s. Ahhh good times, good times...

yeedatoy

They don't look any different than the sport to me. I was hoping they were lower. The intrax eliminate all wheel gap in the front but are too high in the back. The H&R, Teins and the Eibachs all look the same...the only Neuspeed pics I can find are in the pitch black of night and the Ksports aren't used by any TL owner it seems, but claim a 2.5 inch drop on the Accord. Damn..looks like I cant avoid paying for coilovers

Thanks for the pics...Vlang is going to go Columbine on someone if you keep messing with him..lol

03tLsNBP

iTrader: (9)

eh im not too worried about him. he moved to the Caribbean.

anyways yeah the height differences between different springs is hard to notice. if you just want springs, you could try Ground Controls with your current shocks. those will get you pretty damn low.

^Got me cheesing.

I'm on comptech springs with OEM shocks. Waited round the black market for a long time for some cheap springs snagged em for 120. They are great drop is nice ride is smooth but stiff perfect for cornering hard, but you'll regret not getting coils....I know I already do adjustable ride height sounds so good and I wish i was slammed.

KatabaticSaint

However I still scrape where I live..Probably not as bad as these New York Guys though..the L.I.E. has some nasty potholes..

yeedatoy

I thought about that, but I cant find them for less then $380 so I can't justify getting around forking out the extra $150 for coils. I found some good condition NEX GT coilovers the day after I put my springs and struts on for $100 on Craigslist and didnt get them. Funny how quick you get tired of a mild drop. I thought it would be nice after 6 years of scraping shit to not have to worry about it anymore, but I guess some things never change! I just wish you could find springs that will tuck tire like the older Hondas.
