Check the pics in my signature (the Baltimore meet); shatooi has sportlines.

 

dont get sportlines you want less than a 2" drop trust me, i bought some eibach prokit springs but have not had time to intall them yet, but i know you dont want too much drop on a CL, more problems down the road, i know my CL seems to have more wheel gap than any other car in the world, but if u want to get rid of it get 18's.

 

I have sportline's, here's are some pic's

PwrdbyAcura...what kinda problems come with the sportlines?...I know there are plenty of cl's with drops over 2"...

CL'S

 

Nice setup NoGa, looks good.

 

i have sportlines and i havent had any problems, i am running 17s with tires that are too low profile and that creates my camber to be more off than it should. check out some pics at http://drive.to/dioconcepts then click on setups, and acura cl

 

I have sportlines aswell.... check the pics... It was listed as a 1.5/1.75" drop... settled at 2/2.5" drop.... check it!

 

ist off the prokit is def not low enough for me IMO i dont even think the car looks lowerd at all unless it has 18's on it and theres still to much gap ...
the sportline drop is lovely but anyone out there with 18's and the sportlines? i know blazinCL has em and ive seen pics.. just wonderin if theres anyone else out there .. looks like im gunna have to be runnin 225/35/18 series tires anyone have comments on those???

Hi Hi,
I don't think there is any problem with the sportline springs. Well ... except for people who are worrying about rubbing with their 17's or 18's. Although U get the look U want, but U are also sacrificing your tires. It's really a tough call to decide to go for which spring.


All I can say is ...... the lower U drop your car, the more U lose from your tires. I've just noticed that the inner portion of my tires are getting thinner day by day. And certainly it's not really a good thing to watch when U paid more bucks on the tires.

 

E50 There are these things called alignments and camber kits. You might want to check into these if you want to save your tires/money.

 

Tire wear is not an issue if you drop correctly. What that means is that you need to get a camber kit and an alignment. If you don't then you made your own choice.

 

Hi Hi,
I thought the camber kit is only optional since the Pro-Kit doesn't make a significant drop. And I'm sure the camber kit is just a "Must" for the sportlines.

 

If you get an alignment and check the camber you may find something is wrong. It may just need a regular alignment. Fast tire-wear (especially if it is specific to one area of the tire) is ALWAYS a sign of SOMETHING.

 

so thats it eh? damn i was hopin for some pics of 18s oh well ... im price shoppin as i write i'll let ya know how it goes hit me up with some ideas of where to buy em cheap... that and tires and rims too ... i still have to do a search threads on that one...thnks
