Suspension

Just wondering about the compatibility of 2.3 CL aftermarket springs on a 3.0 CL. I've been looking at the 2.3 springs and I'm just wondering the pro's and con's of going with them versus 3.0. I know that I'm going to compromise some of the ride characteristics, just how much? Any 3.0 owners out there running on 2.3 suspension?

btw...How much of a weight difference is there between the two cars?

curb weight for a 99CL

2.3 - 3120 lbs
3.0 - 3285 lbs

not that much difference in weight...

If you buy springs for a 2.3 and slap them on a 3.0, it would probably ride bouncy. Because of the different spring rates.

Why don't you just buy spring for a 3.0?

ive got a 2.2 and im riding on 3.0 suspension, skunkworks with koni yellows, rides sweet to me, the 3.0 has a heavier front so i figure the coilovers would differ a lot but it dosent really matter, the ride will be fine

Yo hi-side, I've got a set of pro-kits for sale. I know that's what you were looking at before. Let me know what's up? Did you get that starter problem fixed?

Not yet, I'm going to have to wait until I get back from my trip. Hey how hard is it to remove the starter? I'll get back to you about those springs.

Not hard. It's 3 bolts I think. 5 minute job with an impact wrench.
