The Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs are a third-party suspension upgrade designed for the 2013-2017 Honda Accord 2.4L and 2015-2018 Acura TLX 2.4L (SKU: EBH-4090140), with a variant for the Accord V6 and TLX (SKU: EBH-4089140).

Here’s what you need to know to confirm if they’re the right fit for your car and driving style.

What’s Included

• Springs: Set of 4, crafted from high-tensile (Hi-Ten) steel, cold-formed and shot-peened for strength.
• Drop (4090.140): Front: 1.0" (25mm), Rear: 0.7" (18mm) for Accord 2.4L/TLX 2.4L—tested with factory dampers.
• Drop (4089.140): Front: 1.3" (33mm), Rear: 1.3" (33mm) for Accord V6/TLX—tested with factory dampers.
• Design: Progressive spring rates (softer at rest, stiffer under load) for a mix of comfort and performance.
• Warranty: Million-mile warranty covers manufacturing defects (not wear or misuse).

Compatibility Details

• Vehicles (4090.140):
• 2013-2017 Honda Accord Sedan 2.4L (FWD, all trims: LX, EX, EX-L, Sport).
• 2015-2018 Acura TLX Base 2.4L (FWD only).

• 4089.140: 3.5L V6 (e.g., J35Y1 for Accord/TLX) or 2.4L TLX variants.
• Transmissions: Fits manual and automatic (CVT for 2.4L, 9-speed auto for TLX).
• Not Compatible: AWD TLX models, non-FWD Accords, or heavily modified suspensions needing custom rates.

Performance & Features

• Handling: Lowers the center of gravity, reducing body roll in corners, squat under acceleration, and dive during braking—enhances grip and stability.
• Appearance: Shrinks the fender gap for a sportier stance—1.0"/0.7" for 2.4L, 1.3" for V6/TLX—without major clearance issues on stock wheels.
• Ride Quality: Progressive design balances firmness and comfort, though it’s stiffer than stock—more noticeable on bumpy roads or with V6 weight.
• Fuel Efficiency: Possible slight MPG boost from reduced drag (lower height), but not a primary benefit—varies by driving habits.
• Durability: Hi-Ten steel ensures long-term strength, backed by Eibach’s defect-only warranty.

Variant Specifics

• Accord 2.4L/TLX 2.4L (4090.140): 1.0" front / 0.7" rear drop suits lighter 4-cylinder models, maintaining a subtle performance look.
• Accord V6/TLX (4089.140): 1.3" drop front and rear handles the heavier V6 or TLX chassis, offering a more aggressive stance and aerodynamics.

Installation Considerations

• Skill Level: Professional install recommended—2-4 hours with a spring compressor; DIY possible with experience.
• Alignment: V6/TLX variant (4089.140) highly recommends a rear camber kit (e.g., Eibach 5.67540K) to correct negative camber—2.4L may need it with aggressive wheels.
• Fitment Check: Works with factory dampers; aftermarket shocks may change drop height (verify compatibility).
• Note: Non-returnable once installed—double-check your model and trim first.

Is This the Right Kit for You?

• Yes, if: You have a 2013-2017 Accord 2.4L or 2015-2018 TLX 2.4L (4090.140) or Accord V6/TLX (4089.140), want improved cornering and a lower look for street or light track use, and can handle a firmer ride.
• No, if: You’ve got an AWD TLX, prefer stock comfort, or need a bigger drop (check Eibach Sportline for 1.5-2").
