My Aegean baby...

Got a digital camera. Got my Comptech springs and sways installed.
Just gave her a car wash.
The sun peeked between the clouds so I snapped some pics:

In the last pic I can finally see the rake Comptech springs are supposed to give (I can never see it on my car), but then it also looks like the car is on a hill pointing downards, no?

Looks great, BTW.

I've only been able to see the rake in pics too, the drop looks pretty even in person.

He took it off himself. I did the same thing to my car because I didn't want someone to remove for me.

After seeing your pics, how could that guy go with a new Mustang and trade in his CL-S?? Lookin' good! That Aegean blue has really grown on me.........I think I was disappointed that they didn't come out with the SEMA blue color at first.

Very nice! You don't have any wax on the car at all, right?

The car still reflects nicely when it's nice and clean.

DAMN I LOVE that blue.

If it came with the Parchment interior, it would be the color of my 6-Speed.
Alas….It looks like it will be RED again for me.

The Aegean Blue is T.I.G.H.T !! Here in Canada, my CL-S was offered in Monterey Blue, which is a shade darker.

I just upped the contrast slightly in the pics - the camera I have is known to take slightly faded-looking pics in a sense.

They're fixed now. Color should be slightly more vibrant (like it is in real life).


Install took around two hours.

Thanks for all the compliments.

And the rake is noticable in real life too, btw.

Good for you J, the car looks awesome- love that color also.

Have you given some thought as to throwing on a 35% tint?....I think it would look killer on that blue.

Yeah i have 50% sides, 35% rear and if the sides ever peel, I will have them replaced with 35%.

And I still owe you a beer for the deal on the springs, Beltfed. I haven't forgotten.

nice looking ride man

Yeah, the rake look in the comptechs is very obvious, thus the reason I am going with Eibachs. I like the blue as well only because there is so few of them, unlike silver of which everyone got 2.

Yo man, where in Maryland are you?

I am working in Lanham, MD and living in Greenbelt.

Trust me you don't wanna live out here. It sucks. It's way out in the sticks. I drive like 45mins down to Rockville or 40mins to Gaithersburg just to get to civilization and normal people. (Because Baltimore, while 25 mins away is just not as friendly or interesting as DC area.) This area sucks. Did I mention how there's NOTHING to do out here? Did I mention it sucks?

I guess the Comptech drop does vary from car to car because I've seen 2 cars with Comptechs, one being mine, and neither one had a very noticeable rake. The cars look pretty even, but when you look up close you do notice that the rear wheel gap is about a quarter of an inch bigger. I'd like to see the Pro-Kit in person because in pics it looks like the rear is sagging, which is why I went with Comptech.

H&Rs look to me like the back is sagging a little. That's why I got the Comptechs.
