Last night, On a HW, speed 65-75 MPH, the CLS had to deal with some lateral wind gusts.

I felt as if someone (wind) is grabbing my steering wheel and yanking my CLS off lane.

A bad feeling at least, anyone would like to describe his lateral wind experience?

Thnaks.

I too have noticed the CL-S doesn't like wind too much. We had 30-35 mph winds here this weekend and the car was a bear to keep in straight line.

I'm wondering if anyone with springs has noticed a difference since they'd be dropped about 1.5" - 2" inches over stock ride height.

Hi, Nashua_Night_Hawk

I am also living in Nashua, and I am planing to buy one too. Would you please share your experience of buying your car? How much did you pay for it with what accessories, and from which dealer? Thanks a lot!

I too expereinced the handling troubles when I was driving on I-95 last weekend back up to NC. Yah, I am curious if the other cl owners do not have this problem with aftermarket springs.

Nashua Night Hawk huh? I live in Texas now, but I used to live in Nashua back in the day on Manchester street. Anyhow, traded in my 97' 2.2 for a Satin Silver type s about a month ago. Night and day difference. I am thinking about some comptech springs. Don't know much about them besides the fact that they drop the car about 1 inch. Are they worth the trouble? Will they void my warranty? Are they difficult to intall? If so, how much should I expect to pay for a mechanic to intall them for me?

 

I had the exact problem when I'm driving to JMU which is about 1200 ft above sea level and there's high winds blowing. When I was driving about 85 I could feel the wind just pushing and pulling my car.
Go get some springs, this helped alot.

search the BB for "comptech springs". all ur questions were answered. no problem for the warranty. I recommend that the installtion be done by either an Acura dealer or Reputable Performace Shop and by only certified Acura Mechanics.

I recently installed Comptech Springs and immediately noticed a difference in the handling....The ride is slightly firmer but not uncomfortable at all...In fact I like the ride better...On the freeway I feel like I have more control and when cornering you can really feel a difference...And on the plus side the springs makes the car look alot sportier but not too extreme...I would recommend Comptech Springs installed by an Acura dealership.
