coilover suggestions
i was going to purchase Apexi World Sport coilovers for the cl
a littel while back. I can't find that same set on Ebay anymore.
I am thinking of getting prokits + tokico's or KYB AGX.
I also think i should just say forget the springs and shocks and just go with
the teins. Is this the right application?

wow - its been a while since i've been on here...things have changed.
I have Teins on my 2.3CL right now...that's the right application for our car. The only real complaint I have about the Teins is that i squeak a decent bit - but that might be because of my poly bushings.
I had a set of H&R Sports + KYB AGX's...I loved that setup, it just wasn't low enough once I put the 18's on the car

i dont want some cheap stuff...
I was looking at the Apex'i as I said before.
Those were for 650, the Teins are 8-something.
I also saw some Tokico ones but am not sure if there is any applications.
but are you sure these will fit and not be bouncy, the teins i am talking about.
Isn't there a different spring rate that I need to look for, our front end is heavier,
I'm pretty sure a user on A-cl.com has noted this.

There is an application for the Tokico coilovers. LOOK HERE!
They are for the Accord, but will fit the CL. They are awesome. I had them on my del Slo and they rode like stock, but stiffen up the shocks and it handled like a go cart. Look at the difference between the Tein springs and the Tokico's. The Tein's are shorter and stiffer, but the Tokico's are more like a lowering spring and not so stiff. One thing bad about the Tokico's is the strut body is not shorter than stock, so you will lose some travel. I'm getting the Tokico's cause I don't like bumpy rides.

To my knowledge, Ground Controls arent cheap stuff. BUt they also arent the BEST. My current setup are Ground Control Coilovers and Koni Yellow Shocks and they ride beautifully. If you are interested PM me. If you want to spend the money, then id say get the Tein SS.

No, ground controls aren't cheap in price or quality. They use Eibach springs. I just don't like sleeve type coilovers in general. I had skunk2's and I loved them for the handeling and ease of adjustability, but I don't like having springs that aren't always compressed and are that stiff.

sorry if i offended any chrome-riders. I want to get something comparable
to the teins, but if i can get something that is gonna make the ride smooth
and adjustable for under a grand, I will steer away from tein.
BTW is the SS Coilover able to be paired with an EDFC?
if so i gotta jump on that, the blue tl at the target meet was killin em.
