Default Lowering Suspension

A friend of mine found the pictures below and sent them to me. I really like the look of it. I realize this topic has been covered before but I have not found any real definitive answers. I'm not looking to cut the coil springs or use coils spring adjusters. Is there any company that manufactures lowering springs for the 1st generation Pilot? If not does anyone know if springs from an Odyssey would work? Any other options?

Hondamaint on this forum mentioned H&R springs in his work up of a rally Pilot. See here:

I'm looking for new springs too, but not to lower it, just stiffer progressive springs so I don't loose unloaded ride comfort, but have a stiffer support for towing with the AirLift bags...

Tim and HAP pulled the info for me and here is his reply:

"...as far as the springs, here's what I can glean from the parts info.....

Your Pilot's existing rear springs are 14.03" in height. For the same year Ridge, 15.01", and for the MDX, 16.39". From appearances, any of the above "should" fit.....

Tim"

So the H&R Ridgeline lowering springs will work, but you may not see the full 2" lower ride height, probably closer to a 1" drop. I plan to try the 1.2" Sport springs for the Ridgeline so I should maintain a stock ride height for chassis clearance and I'll use rear air shocks to raise the back end up when towing.

I think that in order to make things right for this one, some good truck lowering kits would be able to compensate all the things that your vehicle would be needed. In this way, it would be a great thing to really make things work out to solve the problem there. Hope that all is well by now.
