Everybody needs springs!!!

After putting my Comptechs on Yesterday. I cant believe that I didnt do it sooner. Had I driven one with springs I would have noticed the difference. Acceleration braking and lateral control ins increased phenomenally.

I recently got an 02 ClS. I want to put the Comptech springs on, but I keep getting quoted really high prices for install. I've read on this board where people have had them put on for $150 - $200 bucks. My dealer quoted me $160 per wheel. I local mod shop said $275 total. How are some of you getting dealer installed springs for $150?

Yes the springs are a big difference. My car handles way better and stop and starts faster. I also too recommend springs

Damn right!

I couldn't agree with your statement more... Looks is also a big thing! I cannot understand why the CL-S is so raised to begin with. The wheel gap is massive!

Look at BMW 3-series, they also come stock with a lowered stance...

I think you're reffering to the sport package, which is an option on the bimmers.
