go here and click on springs http://www.autocarparts.com/search/r...s&man=Comptech

the drop is:
1.5 front
1.0 rear

$270+25 for shipping.

be aware that the springs make for a stiffer ride but it's not bad.

Mr Mike,

I swear your car looks lower than any other CL I've seen with Comptech springs. Most of the time I can't even tell the cars lower, but yours looks hammered. Did you trim a coil or something?

Nope, I talked to Comptech about that but they really didn't have an answer for me. I'm not complaining though!

You can click on the link in my sig to see my car lowered with H&R Sports. The drop is about 1.75 front and 1.5 rear (according to the H&R website www.hrsprings.com )

I went with Ground Controls so I can get any drop I want.




Mike's car doesn't look abnormally lower with Comptechs to me... my Red CL-S is dropped pretty much the same... in fact its pretty much equal to the drop on my Black CLS. The red one has Comptechs.

I took pics of the cars back to back... I'll get them posted soon.

Welcome to the Board. I went with the H & R Sport. When getting them installed, the rear seat will have to be removed. I hope this helps...

I like the way the H&R springs look.
Did you have to get a camber kit?
By the way Soopa, by far the best looking rims
I have seen on the board yet.

No camber kit needed, but if you go with the H & R Race, I think you do.

Right.

With a 2.0+ drop you will definately need a camber kit.


Although... with any drop... I believe your camber will be off a bit. I'm convinced by the treadwear on stock tires that our stock camber is off. But with 2.0+... definately.
