Tein upgraded springs

In response to this: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...hreadid=100967

After practically a week here is my review:

1. The Tein springs don't seem to have settled any. I'm gonna continue to see if it will. I turned my coils down to the very bottom and I am barely gracing a 2.3 inch front drop. As opposed to being at 2.5 inch with about another .5 inch drop capable.

2. I turned the damper up to 5. I was at 8 before. I had previously ran at 0 and still had bottoming out issues with the old springs.

3. Ride comfort is only slightly harsher. About 10-15% harsher.

4. I can take corners much harder and sharper now and experience no body roll or the car dipping into one corner because the force is too strong. It feels solid now.

All in all...I definitely recommend these springs to anyone who is having issues with bottoming out. But keep in mind, at the moment these springs will NOT allow you to go any lower than 2.3 inchs. I'm gonna give another update in another week or so and see if it settles anymore.

For ordering, contact blxmjx. Thank you.

Are they Front and Rear? I feel I have more issues with the back rubbing than the front.

Really? Oh it's because u have a system! My rears are fine. I'll probably do it a lil later. But I have a feeling it might solve your rear problems.

I have the Tein SS kit. And that come with springs and shocks. The springs that come with that kit are not adequate for the CL. So I upgraded those springs.

Yes, he has the Tein full coilover set up.

My Uncle only uses the best stuff on his CL.
