First Mod (pics)

Ok I finally did it. Last week I brought the CL out of the clouds and down to earth. The car looks, drives, and feels a ton better.
I put the H&R sport springs on.

I want to give mad props to NiteQwill, his DIY: Springs and Shocks made the job go easy. It took me and my bro about 3 hrs to complete.

Air tools are the way to go.

I have a couple of pics that my bro took after we finished. I'll post some better ones once I take them this week.

Looks good; glad to see you were able to do it yourself. Now that you started you have to finish: intake, headers, pulleys, sway bars, and shocks.

Nice. I got the same drop on my CL. More mods! It's an addiction.

Be sure to do an alignment about a couple weeks from now ... wait for the springs to fully settle. Don't want issues with camber (ie uneven tire wear) down the road.

Running the same springs as you and stock shocks, 2 inch drop all around.

Haven't really started looking at wheels that much. Looking to do wheels come spring.
