Tein S-Tech Springs, Accord vs TL?

Hey Azine,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of tein s-tech springs for the 03-07 Accord V6.

I know that they have the same part # and that it will fit, my main concern is how much of a drop am I expecting to get? I'm looking for no more than 1.5" but the specs on the Accord springs are -2" front, -1.2" rear. (If I'm not mistaken) However, the guy selling them is telling me that they're the same part # and if I put it on my 3G TL, it will only drop 1.2" fronts and 1.3" rear because of different weight and suspension.

So, basically my question is...is this true?

if ur not lookin to pass 1.5"... im sure u'll be fine. Not sure how weight distribution is of TL vs accord.. same/similar engine tho.. so im guessing the change wont be that drastic

yeah.. im also looking at the accord tein for the TL because it lowers the car more then the TL tein.... i still havent seen a clear pic of a TL with the accord springs..i really wanna see what the back looks like because of the springs being 2.0/1.2

the vendor selling them told me they are the same thing. same springs, same part number, just different drop becuz different cars. simply meaning there are no accord or tl springs, there is only one spring for both and depdning on which car u use it on, the drop differs. thats what he's telling me, he asked tein usa supposably
