Are they already put together with the Accord Top hats? If so, you will have to drill one more hole in the top of the front suspension so that the top hats can go in.

Accord 03-07 coilovers fit the 04-08 TL but the top hats are different. You can reuse your top hats or as mentioned you will have to drill an extra hole in the strut tower to use the Accord top hats.

I recently bought used Tein ss's and realized they were actually for an 03 accord. I called Tein tech dept directly and they said the assembly can fit but the fitment is a 1/2 in longer and is not meant for the TL. Wondering if that is what is causing my vibration under acceleration. Maybe I have it too low? I have it set at a small finger gap all around.
