This is the time when I may start dumping crazy money into my car. I have a bunch saved up right now, and I'm going to get a ton over the summer from working. I wanna buy klepto's lips, but it'll go to a local buyer.

If you did the coilovers (or struts/springs) yourself you will be fine doing an intake

I think I'll get some GR-2s from Summit with my gift card, and intake on eBay, then a lip somehow. That's the plan atleast.

Hey fellas real quick question.
I was just about to buy these struts for my '97 3.0CL. Are these the correct parts? Just wanted to be sure.

I've heard that the GR-2's are a little better at handling a drop, but they will eventually blow out. I've been doing a lot of research on suspension pieces lately. If you go with the AGX you'll gain the adjustability (worth it IMO) plus you can bring them over if you decide to upgrade to coilover sleeves.

i like acura
i have agx with my nuespeed race springs and they are 2.0f and 2.2 r and i love em. real low. u should go lower you will be so much happier, you can adjust the stiffness. i have my fronts on the stiffest, and my rears are half, and its a great ride.

but +1 for AGX
or Koni if you're willing to spend.

Haha I would love to auto-x my car, but that would never happen. I just ordered the AGX. Thanks for the help.
I agree with the adjustable part though, dicorp. I wish they had something inbetween AGXs and GR-2s. Something for lowered cars, but not adjustable so they'd be cheaper. Oh well.

u're better off spending the extra change and getting adjustable, it'll be more beneficial in the long run

I spent the morning vacuuming and dejunking the whip. As much of a pain in the ass it is.. there's something satisfying about looking inside your car and seeing nice vacuumed carpet and clean seats.
So, my friend gave me an idea for something that I don't think has been done to a CL yet. I'm thinking about going for it... just not sure how it would go over on here and how much work it's going to involve. I have all the parts ready to go though. I'm going to keep it a secret except with a few close, trusted sources until I decide what to do

true, but you'd want an upgraded suspension for that right? even then, i wouldnt re adjust my shock stiffness from DD. thats why i think the adjustable stiffness of AGX is a gimmick

Well, the super secret mod isn't happening. I found pictures of someone on here who has done it... and let's just say I'm glad I only considered it for a day. Hideous.
However... there is some new paint in my future. And this particular color hasn't been done on a CL yet (at least I don't think), but it is on another Acura.
Edit: Damn it, it has been done. Maybe I should look at something else then.

My friend has a set of suicide door hinges that he said he would install for free and shave my door handles if I bought a popper. I considered it, until I did my research. Must have been all the fiberglass particles getting to me for me to think it was a good idea.
I think if I can find a single tail light I can get by with ripping that one apart to do the LED conversion.

That still might be done, but I've heard horror stories of the solenoids failing or the battery dying. The car is still a DD, so it's not practical really. Maybe when it reaches show status (if it ever does) I can attempt it.

DO NOT put shaved door handles on your daily driver CL. You were right, someone did it before, Me! It looked pimp and females loved it, i'm not gonna lie, but the hassles of having to break into my own car whenever the doors failed was not worth it at all. esp in the winter when i had to de-ice the door to open it to get into the car 
. Suicide doors on a coupe is a definitly weird thing do to, it would make getting in and out such a hassle.
