*theres a reason why the spring companys have different part numbers for the coupe/sedan*
sedan springs will fit (and work) on the coupes...
no problems
coupe springs will fit (and work) on the sedans...
but if you do this, the rear will sag since the sedans have heavier rears

Alrighty sorry my net was down so I'm back and all this is goin on JEEZe! Sure I dont mind helpin paint houses, if there is beer and pizza(or bbq!) involved!
Well I have a lil technique developed from many a spring install for safely(relatively
) relieving spring tension from the whole spring/strut assembly. Sounds like you already have tried variants of it. All the Accords I've done are under a lot of tension(they got big asses!). Heh the only crappy thing is recompressing the new spring, usually eibachs(prokit) are the biggest offenders of needing a big dude to press down on the spring hat hehe. Any other springs are cake tho as they fit nicely on the strut...
FALKEN you should be pretty happy with the Neuspeeds I had sports on my car previously(traded up to c/o's) and they didnt blow the stock struts over 2 yrs of use. Same thing with my moms old car(6th gen Accord she now drives an 04Si) and both my parents were ok with the slightly stiffer ride in their car...
So this is happening out in Glendale area?
Peace

ok, so I just put skunk2 springs on my 01 sedan and the back looks perfect sits right above the wheel well approx 1 finger gap but the front is like a 3 finger gap. Is this because skunk2 doesnt make a spring for the sedan and it is really for the coupe and my rear is saggin. I want the front to look exactly like the back.

Rep Power: 450 it took me about 4.5 hours...
i kept getting interrupted by the wife
couldnt get the tie-rods off after trying for an hour
(i finally found my tie-rod seperator and got them off in 10min)
the rears were also hard to get at from the inside (the access is different on the coupes)
