I need a new suspension for my tl-s as the fronts are blown (literally riding on springs) and I've just recently put new (stock) struts with tein stechs in the accord (which I won't be driving regularly anymore, i'll probably use it as a winter beater). otherwise i'll have to buy a new suspension for the tl...

i wouldn't do it. if the car weights are different and their handling characteristics are different (most likely both), you will be underdamped and bouncing all over the place, and will ruin your "new" suspension quicker

but that's just my two cents, your call!

They'll fit. The '06 Accord is only @ 150 lbs less than the TL, shouldn't made much of a difference and will be a cost savings.
Doesn't take long to change, so give it a try and see if the handling is up to your expectations.

They will work but I would be concerned with handling issues due the weight difference noted in earlier posts.
