    Technically they can be used, but since the 4th gen has longer springs in the front it's pointless, unless your willing to risk cutting the fronts down. BTW, the 4th gens have longer front struts as well, which is what prevents us from using the struts as well. And their still to long even if you go with a strut that his shortened, like koni sports or Bilstein sports.

    shit...was getign a pretty good deal on a set of H&R's for 90-97 accords....

    so is saying that if you went with a coilover set up from the 90-97 you really wouldn't see a 4" drop from them at max...if teh spring is longer(for arguments sake an inch) then they would be maxed at like 3"....is that soprtof teh assumption?

    Ya know, I raised that issue before and it I would think so. We do have several member here using 90-97 coilovers, only one of them had a issue. That was doug, but he is the only member that choose to buy 90-97 skunk2 coilovers that are about the same price that you'd spend for 86-89 ground-controls. Here are the people that I know of off the top of my head that are running 90-97 coilovers, A20a1 (mike the moderator), Accordlx (chris the moderator) and YK86. Kinda funny, their all moderator's. Their are others, just don't remember their names.
