hey fellas soo i wana drop the cl about 2 inch arorund there whats the best springs i can throw on the stock struts ?
or even better can i do that ?

 

dont lower the car on stock struts it will eventually blown them out. if you want a good spring/ shock combo i would go with Neuspeed sports springs which is 1.75 front 1.5 rear. got them for $210 on ebay and KYB AGX shocks which i got for like 345 on ebay. its a nice clean drop

 

Search

 

yeah or you can get eibach sportlines which drop the car like 2 in front and 1.75 rear, and some kyb agx's. Thats a good setup too.

 

would the stock struts hold up to the eibach pro kit ?
i was hoping to get somting for arround 300 but i guess that aint happening

 

it would, but prokits dont give u much of a drop. are you 2.3 or 3.0

 

im a 99 3.0 would it be a noticable drop ?

 

I have this setup. do not recommend it. very stiff yet bouncy.

go with something softer, like stechs or neuspeed sports.

 

like blackack said search, there is a good write up in the noob section read and learn

 

Glad to hear that from someone with experience. I'm wondering if my GC's with tokico blues will be a rough ride too.

 

lets say i was to buy these springs would they work with my stock struts ?

if you got a little money go for coilovers

 

yes they would work, but i wouldnt advise getting them without shocks. stock stuts are not made for lowering and they will blow out eventually

 

its gonna ride like shit on stock struts..save up and do it right

 

like they said pretty much the stock struts will blow very fast. Then your car will bounce around and handle like crap. Just save a little money and do it all at once. Then you only have your suspension apart once(hell why in the world would you wanna do it twice).

 

im going to repeat what everyone else said and say you should save up more money for better struts to handle the drop. otherwise your stock struts will blow out

 

Save up and get something that looks great, rides awsome and WILL keep you safe especially where you drive. I feel like crying everytime I drive down Metropolitan. I actually blew a tire, bent a OEM rim and bent and destroyed my shock on Metropolital.

 

what setup you got on your car ?

 

yeaaaa that what im gona do ok since thats the plan
anyone wana buy my rims i cracked they are still fixable they were brand new i had them for a week they sit on some proxies 1 is completly gone i paid 450 for the rims alone
i was original gona bu 2 more off ebay for 200 buks
but i rather throw in 300 to what i got and get the suspenssion

 

get new struts

 

You cracked the rims already?! damn them NY streets

 

yeaaaa man i was goin down kingsland like 40mph it was mad dark down that street no street lights out of no were booom boom sounds like a grandades went off both lips cracked off on pass side drover side is fine the hole was like 5 inched deep !
i am super pissed

i got these springs and my car rides great i didnt replace the struts cause i broke a bolt on the rears and havent fixed it yet but the car rides better than stock its nice and tight on the turns and not bouncy at all

 

not bouncy yet anyways first they will start leaking and then it's squishy time. Just do as you wish, get springs now if that's what you wanna do. Maybe you will regret it later maybe not(fat chance on that though).

 

blahh, if all goes well it should be someone elses problem by that time.
we just paid off the wifes mazda so i think i maybe getting into a big boy toy here soon, something rear wheel drive been looking at g35's

 

or convert your CL into RWD.

 

i got a 99 3.0 cl thoes will fit ?
are they any good the price seems sketchy

 

would this setup work ?

you get what you paid for. if you drop it, do it right the first time. you can't go cheap with your suspension.

 

Wow, they say they can be used with stock struts...... wtf?
Apperently they were right since it seems to be working for you but we'll see for how long.

 

 

man, those look like shit, Tenzo

they'll tell you anything to sell a product.



Seriously guys, buy good springs and shocks together, don't fuck around trying to save a buck, when a cheap suspension might cost you ur life. If you can't afford the proper parts, you shouldn't be driving a lowered car.

 

Well yeah, of course you can. How would aftermarket shocks/springs fit if they were vastly different than OEM?

Aftermarket shocks aren't physically different than OEM struts - they're designed different internally to handle a drop.

 

just spend a few more bucks on coilovers so that you don't have to think about it anymore.

 

look like shit , i suppose so but then again who is looking? the car rides fine with them and its not like im going to auto cross or anything.
i cant see spending a grand on a coilover kit for my CL.
Dont get me wrong i like my car and most CLs and acura/honda for that matter but have you ever heard that old saying " you can polish a turd all you want, but its still a turd" Im just not throwing money like that at MY car but to each his/her own do what you want with your car or your money..


not bashin CLs just makin my point

 

yeah man, anything from a 94-97 accord will fit its all the same suspension

 

HOT!


I've been preaching this since the day I started posting on here, you can get away with putting springs on oem shocks, but why bother, for an extra $200 you can get a brand new set of shocks that aren't 10-12 years old and do it right the first time
