Imagine if your car was this low:

Very nice!!

Were you just playing with the height in this pic?

Hahah...my car was just "jacked up" in the front to adjust it and my friend decided to snap this pic cause it looked really low.

 

hot. and the acura-cl.com sticker just sets it all off

 

Thank you! High praise from Ceasar! Gotta represent ACL

 

Too low.....

Looks like you have busted springs in the car.......

 

Punk, can your pics b n e bigger? Jerk!!!! j/p Its ok Richard, hahahaha pssstt....psssttt...(the TL in the back is better)

 

Hahah...actually that is not my normal height. This was just to see how low the Teins can go. Maximum lowest setting the Teins can go. I do have to say, I'm rather slightly disappointed...thought it could go lower. I'll have more pics a little later on.

 

Looks sick!! Congrats

Quick ? though, is the 1st pic the pic of ur car at th height u normally drive in? Thanks now u need some lightweight 18s and sticky shoes

 

Nope none of these pics are at the height I normally drive at. I drove around like this for awhile (1 day) just to test it. My normal height, I clear my gaps around with a slight rake...thinking of raising the rear though to get more of a rake. I definitely want racinghart m5s...volks would be nice too . Thanks for the compliments!

 

Mods: don't move this thread anytime soon, I'm waiting on my friend to get some more pics of the height i normally at and I'll post them...hopefully sometime this week!

 

Nice and LOW!

 

Shit...TLs are crapppppppppppppp....ssssssllllllllooooowwwww

 

now here's a perfect height.........


if you live in pittsburgh

 

who needs TEINS?? im riding on ACCORD springs save myself $2000 heheh.... and the ride is satisfactory.. i know..its daily driven...

 

SLAM IT CHIKAI!!!! Show these ACL people what a real drop is Chikai, 5 clicks for the front and 7 clicks for the rear...isn't a little too soft?

 

Not bad! Nice drop...is that an Eibach drop? BTW, the Teins were only $850 courtesy of Arnold (Blxmjx)

P.S. Nevermind...I just saw your sig...Neuspeed

 

How was the ride when you tested it for a day?
And what is a rake?

<-- I'm dumb.

 

The ride actually wasn't that bad. You just have to becareful, and yes you do have to slighly angle on the higher speed bumps, but I went up and down my drive way fine. But I also think what helps is the fact that I have the dampeners set to max stiffness. I've had that setting since the Teins were in. Rake is what the Comptech drop is. It's where the front is lower than the rear so as opposed to jucee187's drop where the car is even, a rake would make the rear higher.

 

hey man. ive seen you in mississauga a while ago. near mavis/brittannia. you live around there? you oriental? im pretty sure it was you. hot car

 

Okay peeps, here's the height I'm currenty "daily driving" at...



That's Hai's (Redryder83) TL in the background.


I would post more pics when I get more of a chance to get better spots to take them this week.

 

I would love to, but I already lost a car to a man hole cover. I think i've learned my $3500 lesson.

the click counts are from the hardest setting. ie: 0 clicks is the stiffiest and 16 clicks is the softest.

 

Damn sorry to hear about the car! Oh okay...hahah...I thought you were counting from the softest to the stiffest...I was gonna say!

 

Thanks dood.. yeah it was me .. i go by the mavis/britannia area.. in the mornings especially.. dropping off my g/f at school and goin to work...

 

Does a rake improve the performance off-the-line? Or is it simply for looks?

 

No not really...it's more aesthetics than anything else. What would help increase off the line is adjustable shocks or just really stiff shocks in general.

 

Looking hot peiqinglong!!

 

Thanks Juniorbean! Your car is finally looking great too after the drop...finally

 

looks damn sick... i want mine that low....

 

Thank you!

 

too beautiful for words... I just got my CT springs... gonna have to go with the raked look...

 

CT drop is not bad either. Can't wait to see pics of them on your car

 

damn, you almost sit as low as me

 

I know...damn...I was hoping the Teins would go lower so that I could pimp it like you...but damn...oh well...

 

BRo ur ish is HOT!!!! Whats the offset on those bad boys and width on the, (18x7.5?)...how much they run u is that a polished lip on them?


Just sicK!!

 

don't you guys need to have the camber kits set-up????? I'm just guessing. because I heard that you need a camber kit everytime you lower your car........

 

THanks man..yeah i like these rims.. i havent seen anyone with them ... on any car... the lip makes it look smaller tho..
offset im not too sure but its an 18x8 size rim...
the rims are good quality (ALT).. no dents yet.. after hitting a lot of nasty bumps..on the highway.. and potholes..
I got em for $2600 cash CDN with rubber and lugs and locks mounted balanced and installed.. from WHEELS DIRECT...
thats about $1625 USD .. at todays exchange rate

 

Well it comes down to personal preference on camber kits. You don't absolutely need them...unless you were trying to get your tires to bald evenly. But with cambers, you can't really drop your car as low as you would like, and ever with cambers if you go too low, you will hit some stuff in your tirewell.

 

depends on the car man.. our cars i dont think you need one unless its more than 3inch drop i think.. mine is 2.2 front 2.0 rear.. all i did after that was get the wheels realigned and thats it.. back to stock specs...

 

First off, the car looks HOT with that drop.

Second, get an alignment done and see how far out of spec you are. You should get an alignment anyway when you switch suspension parts. It seems CLs vary greatly in whether or not they need camber kits. I needed front and back kits for mine.

Third, I would have had my Teins in on Tuesday but found out I needed the OEM isolators because Tein doesn't include any. They came in today but my tech can't do the install again until next Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully when he does I'll get a pic of a Nex SS next to a Tein.

Finally, here's how low I dropped mine originally on the Nex SS coilovers, and it could go a bunch lower (but it wouldn't be able to move cuz it would rub). Looks like the Teins might not have as much height length as the Nex, but at least you can adjust strut stiffness, which is why I upgraded to Teins:
