do u notice that it seems like there less wheel gap in the back than in the front, i dont know why its like that.. the drop was suposed to be 1.7/1.5, maybe my springs settled weird

anyone else notice this, funny thing is that i dont even have the spare in the back

Sorry to say, but Eibach designed their springs exactly like you described. My guess is they wanted to give the car the drag look.

Well with a 1.7/1.5 there is going to be a little more height in the back. Not much of course, but little.

i have the prokits and they sit the same way as yours..unfortunately...time to get some coilovers!!

the cars o.e stance has about .5 inch more wheel well gap in the fron that the rear...if this ratio remained the same then it's lowered evenly...if theres a greater than .5 gap front to rear then like many other brands of springs not designed specifically for the CL you get more than advertised drop in the rear...for example...my H&R o.e.sprots advertise .75 front and .50 rear when in acctuallity they are 1.0/1.4

thats horse shit, i shoulda got the raked comptechs

i think the car looks much better flat than nose down...BTW get the koni yellows from neuspeed SP3 and if your problem doesnt go away at the stock spring height setting you can raise the rear .50 inches max

Hm I have the pro kit and it looks pretty darn even to me... I just went out to garage and checked... bout 1.5 fingers front and back.

darrin i think those num are wrong too, on the eibach site and autocarparts.com are two dif numbers. 2.0/1.8 and 1.7/1.5 I thinnk the drop is really 2.0/1.8

typeR

more like 1.8/2.0

Mine were even the first couple of weeks and took a slight nosedive. Still looks ok though

Why cant anyone make a spring for the CL that looks like a normal lowered car?

darrinb

u can get coilovers..

Yeah, but wtf wants to spend $1k just to get the ride height to look right. :o

I lowered my taurus for $80 (new springs) and it sits perfectly, even with a heavy ass box in the trunk. :P

i took a look at the cl today before i headed to school. my rear sits a bit higher than the front. the spring probably havent settled in since there arent any backseats and heavy loads to weigh it down.

what the hell exactly do aftermarket shocks do? Like what is dampening and such? I learned my mistake of lowering my previous car on springs but stock shocks, and i'll never do it again. The ride was SOOOOOO bouncy, I hated it. I want a good solid ride that would bounce around, so i'd have to get aftermarket shocks right? Are the koni yellows the best way to go? Btw, how much would it cost to get springs/shocks installed?

i hear those blue tokicos are good..there are a few people on here that have those
