Preferred Suspension

Can I get some opinions on suspension for my 01 cl type s?

I'm putting on 19" RH C5 Evos so I will probably lower it some. Can anyone suggest a whole package that would do the trick?

I've heard Tokico shit is good.

Thoughts, Comments....

Coilovers. You want the option of adjustability.

hmm I've seen other pics of 19s with CTs and it does look a bit weird ( read high ) however, the pictures shown here look fine. Perhaps the trunk is loaded with some stuff or stereo equip.

It all depends on the offset of the rims, the color, the lip, and the color of the car with the rim. These are all factors which can skew the preception of the car. Also the lighting and angle which the picture was taken also matters too.

I've gotten many emails from people since we posted the west coast meet pictures, and almost everyone thought my car was slamed or how my rims was soo tucked. But believe me, it's not!!! Matt can verify this. The reason why it looks low is because Jeff has a kick has camara, and he played around with the camara angles when he took the pictures.
