Just don't make the mistake I did when I first put them on... Do NOT put them on fully slammed 
Your underbody will be on the floor of the garage, esp. if you are running a low series tire on 16's or running 15's. Depending on what you have for a camber kit up front, your UCA's will be the only thing keeping the front end off the floor 
. But I am sure you won't make that mistake, probably not the first car you have ever dropped on coils unlike myself.

Car looks awesome, I LOVE clean paint like that. I bought my F2's before fall last year and they were rev. 2 so I am sure yours are. They were the first set of coils I ever owned and I couldn't have been happier with the ride quality. 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.

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.

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.
