03 Accord Stock Suspension on 98 Accord

Cord_Sleeps · Apr 13, 2011

Hey,

I looked far and wide before posting this thread,the closest I came to finding an answer was on a set of GC's that "20-CG5-01" wanted to install on his,however my situation is a little different as i intend on putting 03 coupe v6 stock suspension on my 98 coupe v6,

1.Does it fit?
2.If so, what needs to be altered to do so?
3.Will the car ride higher as the 03 is about +/-200 lbs heavier than our gen....?

Thank You in advance.

6th gen suspension interchangeable with Acura TL/CL

7th gen suspension interchangeable with Acura TSX

Ahhh, however I heard that if you swap the top hats they fit just fine?

As stated in the thread-

There is conflicting info, because on Tein's website, the parts are different for the 6th/7th Gen.

I know people have suggested what to do to do it, but I have not yet seen anyone with a 6th Gen using 7th Gen suspension parts.

Also, as you mentioned, the spring rates will be different, so you probably won't get the desired look you're going for.

There is alot of suspension stuff FS on here, so finding what is actually made for our cars should be easy.

i doubt the car will sit correctly and/or ride like it should...even if they do fit. 7g's are also bigger/heavier. just get stock 6th gen suspension, since its designed for your car.

Yeah, you know what I say? You can cheap out on just about any cosmetic thing on this car lol, but you can't cheap out on brakes, axles, suspension & wheels or any other car because that right there is putting your life is in danger!
