Can anyone give me the OEM part numbers for Struts and the pieces to fully assemble it? Need it for my 2003 Acura CL-S (Automatic). I'm hoping I can find these oem parts on ebay cheaper than the dealership. I would buy them ready assembled and ready to mount but I'm throwing some vogtland springs on them. Any help will deeply be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Where are you located hue_hustler? I am close to GTA in Ontario.

Hey Gurot1. Im located in Lorain, Ohio. Cleveland Area. (USA)

Too bad you not too close to where I am, could have given you stock struts (if you looking for them) suuuuper cheap (they only have 20k on them). But they dont have all the related mounts and stuff bc I had to use some of them for my koni's years ago. Are the springs lowering springs or are they stock height? If lowering springs, I would not suggest oem shocks.

Vogtland Springs (2" Drop)

I've read on here that OEM Shocks top most after market shocks. And preffered and recommended by most ppl on here. I'm might have to have do more research then.

gurot1

Oem shocks wear out quicker when the car is lowered. IMHO 2 inch drop is the perfect amount, lowers centre of gravity and gets rid of the 4x4 wheel well look, but is not super slammed and is not scraping the road...not to mention it is easier getting in and out of the car vs slammed (I am not 25 anymore Lol).

To put these Koni's and Vogtland together I know I'm a have to buy new strut mounts. But what else am I going to have to buy? And as far as these parts go, are OEM pieces recommended? If not, what brand do I get and where do I go?

Hey Gurot, can you send me pic of your koni yellows with stock springs...that's an interesting set-up you have on the CL-S.
Mine is set-up with eibach springs with stock shocks

gurot1

It's a little dark right now, will take a pic tomorrow. I did have eibach with koni's, but the front springs cracked due to our crappy roads. I ended up just putting my oem springs back on and put the front koni on the lower perch.
I am not 100 percent sure exactly which parts of original shock assembly were used by the shop when I had thr koni's originally installed a long time ago. I remember asking the dealership when I was putting oem back on for some parts but they only had the whole aseemplyband not the individual mounts etc. I think rockauto had the different mounts and stuff. Not sure if acura dealerships in the States sell the individual parts or not.

I forgot the trunk was open!
Koni's are lower perch (0.8" drop in front and stock in rear)

Thx man nice, how many settings adjust for koni yellow

I like the color and rims on CL..that color blue is so rare

gurot1

Thanks. I love that blue colour. I really liked how the oz rims almost looked like they could be stock and dont draw a lot of attention to themselves, but at the same time complete the look of the car. I thought it looked better with the eibach springs though.

The koni yellows just have two perch height, stock and about 0.8" lowered. There were some neuspeed or koni neuspeed, something like that, that used to have five perches.

I had those same wheels before. They're really light but high offset too so you can drop it pretty low without rubbing.

gurot1

I was a little scared I would get rubbing as I used to have 235/45/17 michelin, but got lucky.

I have Eibach springs and shocks/struts. But the car makes a weird squeaking sound over the slightest bump. Could this be a worn strut mount. Had this set up for about 5 years and it has been getting really bad as of late. Any ideas? Thanks.

gurot1

Sometimes the squeaking can be caused by swaybar bushings.

loopey dude

Had those replaced with eibach sway bars and bushings at the time also. Thanks, might see about lubing them again. Was wondering if the original top strut mounts might be getting old?
