same springs????
ok, is it just me or are the part numbers for spring manufacturers the same for the TL as they are for the V6 '03 accord?
anyone know if there is anything different?
i apologize if this has already been discussed in an earlier thread

my 4044.140's arrive today or tomorrow.
now, if you look at the Eibach website, it shows more of a drop on 03 accord using the 4044.140's than 4044.140's on TL, this suggests to me that the accord is actually heavier.

i noticed that it dropped the accord more too. i was thinking that maybe it was a typo... but i saw the same information on the tein website. (lowered accord more then TL) but its gotta be the same springs. no manufacturer would have the same part number AND label it a different car. that would lead to too many misunderstandings during the ordering process.
