Hey, I need to order new rear moog springs, apparently theres 2 different parts depending on weather or not the car was made early or late in the year. The sticker on my door jam either has no text on it, or its all faded off, is there another way to tell?
Or will either part work, whats the difference?!??!
Thanks

Honda didn't change the suspension setup from 86-89, so I am not sure what the website means.

Choose the earlier date. Honda started to make the 4th gen (90-93) Accords in late 89, so that would explain the 2 differences. I believe the last of the 3rd gens (86-89) were made in june or july of 89. And the sticker on the door jam is where the date would be, but yours is obviously faded off.

i think there is a difference in the coil diameter in the latter model 3geez.
when i lowered mine i needed to measure the diameter to got the right ones.
could be coz they were starting to make the cb accords round the same time as they were phasing the ca out
