Default Tokico HP suspension kit for my 91 Accord Wagon?

Hi all

I am about to order the tokico blues and tokico spring suspension kit and was checking out some sites and they say that this kit fits all 90-97 accords excluding V6 and SW, some others dont....

Will it not fit or is it the weight makes them lower than the advertised 1.25 inches....

I am not looking for extreme performance or to be slammed. My front 2 springs are fractured and the rear struts are blown, so I figure I will replace them with something decent, please advise...

Thanks!

it will fit but with a little more weight on the rear it will drop lower.
i was running tokico blues and ST speedtech springs for a long time and they sat about .5 inches lower than they said it would.
i felt that blues and ST springs were too soft for a wagon and later switched to koni yellows with neuspeed race springs and they are great!

on 4th gens the rear always looks lower since the wheel well arch is so much lower than the front.
i think typically that rear springs are rated at .2 inches higher drop, i found that the actual front and rear drop were identical, jsut there was less gap in the rear.
