i need to be lower though but my apt entrance is nasty. has a dip where the water runs on the street then shoots straight up. have a two layer parking garage under the complex. everytime i come on here and see the accords on here it makes me wish i would have kept mine. oh well this one is pretty quick

mine not so much. but you have to remember your in a heavier car so that comes into play since those spring rates are for the TL/CL/ACCORD. the accord being the heavier of the 3 by 500 pounds and yes i am correct. the TL's curb weight is 3447 and the accord's is 3990.

I know for a fact that the Accord does not weigh almost 4000lbs, a 4 cyl 6th gen dry weighs just about 3000 even, and with a full tank of gas weighs about 3100lbs.
edit: and those numbers are for the automatics, the manual's weigh even less...
