Saloon or tourer? The 2.2 Saloon is CN1 the 2.2 tourer is the CN2. If yours is a saloon, it's a CN1, so the springs listed as CN1 will the ones you want. Many brands sell the same springs for all three engine models of saloons. The tourers differ in that the rear springs have a different load rating. But again, the petrol and diesel tourers tend to run the same lowering spring across the engine range. I think the weight difference in the engine block isn't that significant. Obviously, the diesel is a little heavier, but well within limits, hence most spring companies sell the same springs for all three engine models of the 7th gen Accord.
Hope that helps buddy.

Its the saloon so yea CN1 I guess and do you think fk are OK like getting them for £95 which seems decent for new springs .... Next price up is apex for £130
Not heard any reviews mate, so couldn't comment. £95 is a good price, but sometimes cheaper isn't always better (not implying anything, just food for thought). I run Apex, another value for money option (cheaper than Eibach, the more commonly popular spring) and they're very good. Had them about 18 months now and my shocks still seem ok. Fitted around 70K now on 85K. Drop is about 40mm on the front, 35mm on the rear. The stance is subtle, but nice. My mud guards scrape on speed bumps now 
. It's only mud guards though. I'll whip them off one day. Don't really need them.
