Do you have H&R sport springs?? Help please!!
Who has H&R sport springs(part# 50103) on tl's?
Were there part#50103 on the springs? or 51858 and 51858-55?
Some people say that 50103 springs are hybrid kit of 51858 and 51858-55. Some other people say that it is not a hybrid kit and the springs should say 50103 on springs.
What is the truth?
I bought a set of 50103 springs 2-3 weeks ago, and because I thought it was wrong kit, I returned it, but because some people were saying that it is hybrid kit of 51858 and 51858-55, I bought it again. Now, I see people saying that part#50103 should be stamped on the springs.
Please help!!!

Here is what I sent him via PM.
Ah, yes. That is correct. H&R did come out with an actual 50103 springs set after a while.
OK, here is what happened.
51858 was meant for the Accord, and since the TL/CL share the same suspension design, H&R thought it would be alright to use the same kit for all 3 models.
However, TL and CL owners started having sagging problems, so H&R came out with a hybrid kit, 50103. At first (when I got mine), it was a hybrid kit of 51858 front Sport springs (black/dark blue) and 51858-55R rear OE Sport springs (grey).
Now, H&R does make a 50103 kit that actually has 50103 stamped on the springs. However, they are the same springs. They may have different colors or whatever, but I believe the spring rates and whatnot are still the same as the original hybrid 50103 kit.
Honestly, either 50103 kit will do the job. So will 51858, but you *might* get a sagging problem with 51858. I would definitely recommend getting a 50103 kit.
Hope that helped.
