Need to Kill Fender Gap
Just bought some 18's on my 2000 TL-P, and since the day i bought the car, i've wanted to eliminate fender gap. my 99 eclipse had a big gap too, but i dropped it with h&r sports. the car was way too low though and had some camber problems. my question is: what springs should i buy for my TL that will decrease the fender gap, and not have any camber problems. my goal is to spend as little money as possible without causing any more problems. if i get h&r sports, will i have any camber issues with this car? also, if i were to purchase springs, would i search under Acura TL or Honda Accord?
thanks for any suggestions, will post pics ASAP

H&R OE SPORT: front .75" rear .50"
H&R SPORT: front 1.75" rear 1.50" or so.
It really depends on how much weight you usually carry in your car. I have a lot trunk weight, so I went with a minimal drop with OE, and I was still rubbing a bit at the rear, so I rolled my fender a bit, and now it is great, especially for all the damn uneven potholes infested roads in NYC.
here what OE looks like with 18", the pix are not great to show the gap, but in person, i can stick a finger in the rear, and i can barely stick 2 fingers in the front.

yeah, i do have a heavy system.
mirrors, i started out making them, then I got too lazy, and I never resumed, so its just reflectors.

Those look like H&R Sports and not OE's if you ask me. Just my 2 cents. Hell, I would of got OE's instead of the Sports if they dropped that low. But I do love the way the Sports look and handle on mine.

yeah. handling is def. better than stock, wider tires and lower ride, i do feel the different on sharp turns.
and yeah, those are OE, I can only imagine if i got the Sports, i would of regretted it on every bump and turn in NYC, lol.
