Finally dropped it.

Here is my 03 WDP TL-S.

I am going to be looking for new wheels in a few months, but I really liked how it turned out. There are two "before" shots then the pics after the drop, sorry for the quality, just a quick snap with the iPhone.

Nice drop. What are you dropped on? The rear could go a bit lower unless you're on springs. Looks like H&R Sport springs.

I bought the "Factory Tuned" Springs off ebay, pretty solid ride, a few months back a guy on the CL side researched to see if what the company said was Legit, basically the company bought a ton of over produced "Falken" Springs that didn't sell well during the fast and furious craze for pennies on the dollar and refinished the springs with their own logo and model #.

supposed to be 2.1 front and 1.6 back, might be slightly more drop since that was the drop designed for 98-02 accord V6(which these were being sold for) and our TLs are heavier.

I had them on for literally a few hours when pics were taken and I think the rears will settle a little more after a few weeks, I will report back with better quality pics and measure my drop in the morniing, I already measured the "before"

Here are the specs from the drop, These are after like 30 hours and about 100 miles, driving to San Diego this weekend from Sacramento, going to get aligned down there and report back any changes in ride height after they settle in.

All measurement are from the ground, through the centerline of the wheel to the bottom of the fender, measured in inches.

Before:

Front right: 27.25
Front left: 27.25
Rear Right:27.75
Rear Left: 27.65

After(100 miles):

Front right: 25.00
Front left:25.00
Rear Right:26.25
Rear Left:26.15

My driveway is a little uneven where my rear tires sit which could explain the small difference in a back, I measured at the parking lot at work and they sat even.

"

the falken's were....

- 1998-2002 Honda Accord V6, this spring kit features a 2.0 inch drop in the front and 1.9 inch drop in the rear.
what color are they, the ones you have are the same specs as eibach

the falkens are blue, eibach = black

If you have a question make a new post stop bumping all these old threads and you don't need to ask the same question five times.
