Yes, I have read the n00b guide but I still have a few questions.

1.) The n00b guide and ebay says that it lowers 1.75"/1.5" (I love how the front is a little lower than the rear) Now do they really lower like that or not? (for example, the eibachs prokit is rated 1.4"/1.4" but we all know it's not even that.

2.) $170 is a great price, yes?

3.) Will I be experiencing any crazy tire wear and need a camber kit? (I know I need new shocks)

Thanks in advance and btw, it's a 3.0.

 

Shipping is $40, FYI.

 

If i were getting just springs I'd probably get the neuspeed v6's for sure, I got my sways from that seller, great company

 

the neuspeeds won't drop it low at all. Leaves about 2 or 3 finger gap and no you won't get much tire wear.

 

yeah i bought my Ground controls from them.

 

i think the neuspeed race springs are the springs the provide a lower drop

 

Yes they are

 

I don't want a big drop, just something to get rid of the 4X4 look. Where I live out of the city limits, the roads are rough and bumpy. As long as the drop is -2.0" and +1.3" I'm good.

 

neuspeed will give you a good drop

 

do it

 

 

double

 

Sweet! Then I'm hitting "Buy Now" When I get my birthday money tommrow!! Unless someone wants to get them for me for my birthday.
BTW, Tomorrow is my B-Day and I get my license first thing in the morning!! WHOOOO!

 

Early Happy Bday to you. Why did u have to wait till 18 to get ur license? i got my junior license when i was 16 and my regular one when i was 17

 

God help us...

 

Cuz my bro totaled 2 (or 3) cars in his first year when he got his license at 16 doing stupid stuff and my parents didn't want to go through that again... and insurance is alot cheaper for 18 y.os. Gay I know but it doesn't matter anymore cuz I get my license tomorrow!
BTW, my bro just got a black on black 08 TL Type-S! We both rollin on AZine.
Haha...

 

i guess it really depends on what your budget is looking like but i would suggest you buy a camber kit today or tomorrow also. DON'T WAIT. the more you read, the more other members and threads will tell you that you may or may not need it. i'll tell you now that you'll need it. i have a 3.0 also.

save yourself the installation cost and the expense on new tires and just get it done with it at the same time. to have my camber kit installed after the fact, it was $300, not including parts. i was exactly in the same position as you, i was in a rush to get everything done and get my whip as hooked up as fast as i could. the best advice i could give you is to cover all angles... or you'll regret it later when you have to buy tires twice a year and can no longer afford the camber kit and install.

i bought and installed KYB AGX and Neuspeed Sport Springs 6 years ago when i was 18. it wasn't till 3 years ago that i finally caved in and got a camber kit installed. i went through several sets of tires in those 3 years due to negative camber wear. the insides of my tires would bald in less than 10-12k miles, even faster for snow tires. rotating tires doesn't matter if all of your wheels have camber issues. it handled like a champ though, i could take turns FAST AS HELL without any tire-squealing.

as far as the wheel gap goes, the drop is exactly as much as i wanted. with 18" rims i can put a finger, finger and a half tops with stocks. i don't have sausage fingers.it doesn't tuck but it doesn't look like i have a gap. pre-drop with rims, my CL looked like a 4x4.

has it sagged over the last 6 years? i highly doubt it. it sat exactly how i wanted it to the day i got them put in, and i honestly couldn't tell you if it sits slightly lower now than then. i doubt it, if it is, it's millimeters lower. my car rides well since i have adjustable shocks, but i can't help but think that lowering it has made my turning radius shit. i can't remember what it was like before i touched anything, but i swear i could K or U turn much easier back then.

 

Thanks for the info. I looks like I am going to need a camber kit after all. What setting do you have your KYB AGX set to? You should post a pic if you can. And I doubt that it made the turning radius worse. It's just as bad as my parent's vans.

 

lol, my car's turning radius is worse than my mom's odyssey. i can bust u's in that car where i'd have to k turn in my own. no joke.

and not because i can't judge distances or that my car can't make it over curbs, it really just does smoke my cl's turn radius.

right now i ride at 2 of 4 in the front, 4 of 8 in the back.

i used to ride at 3 front/ 6 rear and i felt like i was driving a dune-buggy. it was really stiff, great response, bad for daily driving. cracks in the pavement felt like 3" deep potholes.

at 2 / 4, i'd say it's much closer to stock and the ride isn't bad at all. i was looking for pictures on my old photo accounts but they're just not there anymore. i used to have them on yahoo but it says it converted to flickr in 2007 and that since i didn't change, my pics are all gone. it's aiite, as soon as my rims are back, i'll post new pics. painting them bronze this week!

 

yeah i was going to say, post pics asap cause im interested.

 

where in jerz are u at zy?

 

near menlo park mall, central jerz.

 

sweet dude im in south amboy. we should take some pics one day.

 

did you fail your test
Happy Bday mine was the 3rd.
And get those springs already.

 

happy bday man and get those springs. I have those on my cl and the ride is great just wish it wast on stock shcoks and struts but yeah man i have no wheel gap on stock 16's so do it

 

shit man where have you been.

 

Thanks! Happy belated Bday!
Dude! Your getting rid of the CL right? I'll buy them from you! To help you out. you know what I mean?

edit: Haha! That's soooo cool! Just noticed the age on my avatar!

 

your ridin just those springs with everything else stock? how much did you pay for install or did you do em? how much lower do you think they'd be with 18's? im assuming around the same?

 

I have come to find out that those roads not only exist out there.. But all over fucking town as well.

 

Thats great! I guess I'm not the only one then.

 

no doubt, we'll get up once my rims are re-finished. ordered duplicolor bronze, gonna do it up when it gets here. my boy just did his rims and i've never been more impressed with a DIY. looks just as good as my other boy who got his powdercoated for like 1000x more.

thinkin bout repainting my ww lip, i busted that bitch up when they made speed-humps on a side street to my house. those mtherfckers put them in over night, no signs, left them black... i hit it at like 35mph. i thought i totalled my car, but its straight, just some cracked paint and peeling clear coat now on my lip. can't even do a claim.

 

buy what from me? haha

 

LOL! I don't remember dude. I was sooooo messed up that night!

 

Ohhhhhh ok, I thought you said you got those springs already but you said, "Get those springs already!" I guess? Haha, I don't really remember.
