I have the 5 spoke rims that came on the CL in '97, but I wanted to know how many people have lowered CLs with these rims?

I'm asking because I want to lower my CL this summer, but I don't want to put rims on it (too much money, car already has a lot of miles on it, not worth it).

I now have rims, but originally, my car was lowered on stock rims. Unfortunately, I didn't save any digi pics of the the drop on stock rims.

It should look fine. Lowering your CL should help with cornering and it will help lessen some of the ugly wheel gap.

i've got a couple...



these are old...but they may help...

JLai

I'm on stock rims and lowered...check my "www"

sswany

Hey jasshopper,

what size/brand drop is that in the pictures?

JLai

look at his sig

sswany

Well I didn't think that the rims were the right ones from the sig, so I thought maybe the drop had changed too.

jasshopper

yea..the springs are intrax's...1 and three fourth inches...prolly not the highest grade springs...not too many people have em'...but they've done the job for me

i have the pro kits and its looks good
Jasshopper - that is only a 1.75 drop? It looks much lower then that

ACURA-C

Definitely lower it anyway. I still have my stock rims on too (for another week or so).
It improves the car's appearance no matter what you are rolling on.

yeah, i have mine sitting on the chrome stocks for '98, i think it looks sweet, and it helps me keep putting off getting rims until my 16's go bald

Go ahead and get rid of the ugly stock wheel gap that we all have.

So bryan, your sig says H&R race, so I assume that is a 2.2 drop?

bryanz3.0cl

And after.....





Stock rims arent bad, but they gotta go soon. Atleast for the summer.

I think it still makes a significant difference, even if the car sits on stock rims. Notice the CL next to mine. You can hardly see it, but well enough to notice the difference in fender gap. Good luck!
