I did this with my d2's (same design), and couldn't get the floor jacks out from under the car

To be honest, the TL I have now feels pretty close to that, just a bit softer on bumps + body roll. I was able to take sharp on/offramps at 65+ with those, really gave a nice planted feel. Driving down the palisade's pkwy in the concrete areas was rather noisy and rough with them though, girlfriend used to bitch about it all the time. Heading to fort lee on friday so I will get to see how that road is with stock suspension on the TL.

i love the palisades parkway. i hope i have the same luck you did but im sure i will. ill be running 45 series tires on 17" wheels so im gonna try and slam it has much as i can.

theres rust on the passenger side QP that the pictures dont reveal. that and no one wants CL's really screwed me.

all for the better bruh, your car is too sexy to let go of for anything under 5k. Sleek lines, slammed, new rims...every luxury amenity you'd find in a new car minus stock navigation....glad you kept her ^_^

Good choice on tire size. I can almost completely tuck the rear tires and completely tuck the fronts with the same coilovers. That's without adjusting the preload.

Can't wait to see the pics.

well i hope this all happens. i got an offer for my car and i might take it. if i sell the car im buying my parents 03 Accord EX-L. i think its my best bet. ill have a nice daily driver, this way i can buy another CL as a project car, start fresh, and do it the right way.

my co-worker is selling his bone stock, mint, 98 2.3CL 5spd for 3500. i know he'll sell it to me for less. if not, ill definitly find another CL and i will travel to get one if i have to.

i know i just did like a total 360 on this one but i feel i need to start fresh, i built this car the wrong way and wanna learn from my mistakes on the next one.

i did my suspension, swap, and wheels wrong to name a few. i always just settled for things with this car. i wanna get a nice DD (parents accord) and come back and do things the right way the first time, instead of doing things have assed like this car.

the good thing is that the wheels (kind of) and suspension sitting in my garage was the right way to go and hopefully ill have my chance with a different car. my CL now is too far gone.

I could see selling it cuz of the QP rust and such, but wheels and suspension can be swapped any time, I've already swapped my suspension 4 or 5 times.

I can understand wanting a DD, but why are you giving up on your CL, just to plan and get another one?

i lied i drove the car to work today. the deal didnt go down last night. the kid passed out after we had work yesterday. but thanks Chris. i wouldnt call my car a legend by any means.

possibly. im a little worried hes gonna take the engine/trans out and put it in a civic. and im a little worried that hes gonna try and sell it for more then i sold it to him for.

i hope he turns it into a project but who knows. i think its just gonna sit in his driveway for a while.

nice pickup though, those 6th gens are pretty damn comfy, I just hope you got a 5speed and not an autotragic due to their reps o.0

yeah spencer im still sad myself. and yes flip its a stick. i CANNOT stand how tall the shifter is though. its taller then the OEM CL shifter (yes its possible). first thing im getting is a Pspec shifter, which is now only offered for the 6th gen Accord and Preludes.
