Possibly? I ordered new coilovers for a 2003+ accord on thursday, got home friday after work and they were already there!
My buddies did the install while I was working my damn 11 hour shift today and everything went smoothly, just had to drill in one spot they said on the top in the fronts but I am not too worried about it, it is just as safe as before. They had to take the strut bar off, so i am in the market for a new one that will fit and look good!
I will have pictures up tomorrow possibly

04DCTL

04DCTL

iTrader: (3)

how low is the drop?

04DCTL

it is almost the exact same, front is just a little bit lower than my H&R springs
and the springs were said to drop 2 inches in the front, and 1.7 inches in the back


HOOOOORAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY rubbing on right hand turns haha

Distorted Reality

Looks awesome dude, Drop looks sick.

04DCTL

looks like the only strut bar you will be able to get away with greddy

04DCTL

really? i have not looked into it at all, what about any 2003+ accord stuff? you think anything like that would work or should i catch some measurements and just compare?

04DCTL

haha, i guess you could say that, until i get inside and try to push in the pedal on the far left and it just makes me stop moving. haha
oh well, automatic isnt that bad, it wont kill me i guess so hell, ill keep it!
but thanks man! just trying to get my car looking good, might be pulling and rolling my fenders soon but ill keep yall updated on that one

Drop looks good, put some miles on em and let us know how it goes. BTW, is your grill flat/satin black?

04DCTL

looks nice - what did you pay for them?

04DCTL

900 shipped to my door from a shop in NC

04DCTL

update on the coilovers...the ride is amazing, I have my 17's back on but they might be sold this weekend and some new wheels before long if everythng goes okay.
The ride is outstanding. I love it. The drop is probably about a 3 inch drop or so, maybe a tiny bit more in the front and the rear is about 2.5 or so. Lowest point on the car is the little black plastic thing under the car sitting about 4 horizontal fingers away from the ground, but its not too bad.
I would def. reccomend D2 to anyone

jdmitr22

i got d2s also! i loveeeeee them and they ride amazing!

i just swapped tophats from my stock shockss and they worked great!!





that drop was with 2inchs left in the front to drop and 2.5inches left in the rear. and my dampening on 22rear and 12front i believe or other way around haha.

04DCTL

Hell yeah dude! I love my D2's. Who did you order from? Did they tell you that you had to drill into the strut tower?

jdmitr22

i got them from Hopupracing, right under 900 shipped. they didnt tell me, but i already knew..i just used my OEM top hats, no biggie.

04DCTL

Well thats good. Glad to see another D2 roller! go ahead and dumppppp it! haha
Have you had any popping or other noises from the coilovers?

jdmitr22

nooo but when i had it as low as it is in the pics, my right axle was shaking...no idea wat it is..now im scared to dump it agian haha. and i dont have a camber kit yet.

milk man

^is your car still shaking after you raised it a bit?

jdmitr22

it shakes verrrrrrrrrry little bit.

Etohprn247

iTrader: (6)

Are these better than megans? and are they mono-tube design? TIA

milk man

so it was the axle causing that shaking?

jdmitr22

it was only shaking when i got on the gas and only happened between 10mph-50mph.

04DCTL

I dont justify they are 'better' justbecause i do not have personal experience with megan coilovers. But I do say they are very very good! The ride is great, stance can be great. Megan and D2 have about the same drop rate.

Does yours shake?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Very curious as to the answer to this...is this because the car is dropped too much? I'm getting the same shaking from my TEIN SS's. I'm dropped to recommended drop height (tight finger in front and rear) 13" to fender or so. I can't figure it out. Anyone else? 10-50mph under acceleration also.

rhdune16

iTrader: (1)

Yea any issue with the shaking? I'm thinking about getting some 03+ Accord coilovers but want to make sure that it's not the coilovers fault for causing the shaking. I know that koni yellow shocks and eibach springs are the same model # for 04+ TL and 03+ Accord so hopefully that isn't the issue.

ludachrisvt

iTrader: (2)

They are so similar I'm tempted to say they are the same

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

i've since called Tein and apparently there is like a half inch difference in overall length of assembly and the rebound ratings are different. Etc...they said they WILL fit, but they Don't recommend it. I've since asked for a return from the used ones I bought on ebay and my new actual TL model number SS are on their way.

rhdune16

iTrader: (1)

but that doesn't make sense with the koni yellow shocks cause the accord and tl share the exact same model number... it might be the top hat or something with the spring... o well I'll try to figure it out...

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

It doesn't make any sense...but I CAN tell you that TEIN has two distinct part numbers for each car. I'm thinking it will make a difference.
