lowering springs?

which springs should i go with?

Skunk2...... front -2.0" rear -1.8"
Tein S Tech...... front -1.2" rear -1.3"
or Eibach pro kit...... -1" fr/rear

I have a 2004 acura tl base model. i am riding on 225/35/20" tires. my ride is knida low already do to the 20" rims and low pro tires so i was wondering if the 2" drop skunk2 springs would be too low. would i scrape or rub? and if i go with the eibach or tein which one doesnt sag in the rear? I really dont have the money for coilovers ....

You should tuck pretty nicely with the skunk2. How wide are your rims and offet.

i think the 1.8 in the back is too much.. you should look into th 06-07 accord tein lowering springs.. its 2.0 f and 1.2 back... 1.8 is too much

20 x 7.5 sounds like a weird rims size. Are you sure they are 7.5 or are they 8.5?

we have the same tire profile and you should know your car looks drop in the back already... 1.8 will prob go down to the lip of the rim and you wont see no tire and it mite be a un even drop... i say do the tein from the accord

yes you can.... you can put a lot of things from the 06 07 accord on a tl... just like my v2 intake ... i think you will have a better drop with the accord... 1.8 is a big drop brother and when you put people back there get ready to rub...
