Default Lowering for 94-97 accord/ 98 3.0 CL [v6]

Hey guys, whats going on.
I have a 98 Acura CL3.0
I found that our parts are essentially interchangable when it comes to some of the internals and suspension parts. I'm looking for a 2" drop. Specifically looking for coilovers unless theres a better setup I'm unaware of. Just a note: I'm looking for a setup that can handle a v6 engine. a 4 banger setup wont ride as well. I was looking at Tein Basics but they had a price increase from 700ish to 820. I was fine with the 700, the 100+ increase is just ridiculous. So if there are any setups that I could get for under that thatd be great. If someone has any recommendations thatd be great. and my search didnt come up with what i wanted when I tried searching this forum.

Thanks guys!

You would look for parts compatible with an 98-02 Accord V6

I believe they would be from a 95-97 accord. not the 98-02. I'm trying to get suggestions for best drop, best feel. Thats all.

I stand corrected, the Accords changed body style in 97>98, however it seems the CL kept the same older style up until 99.

So yes, you'd be looking at a 95-97 Accord V6 suspension. And it's worth spending money on, you don't want to skimp out on suspension.

Eh I paid $1000 for my setup. So 700 or so isn't horrible. Just shop around.

Koni Yellows and then custom rated GC's, it comes out to right about $850 then shipping so closer to 900$
