wow... same cars (used to have a 99 F23a4) same suspension (got eibachs wraped with tokico on my CLS) and I live in the east bay... :phatyo: if you were only better looking, I'd think you were me 
just fu(kin around (don't even know what you look like).
Nice drop. How smooth is it with the stock 17s? I got 18s on me. Are the tokicos adjustable?

Ya know, It's my hunch that only the front shocks would need to be upgraded.
Get some Koni yellows up front with the new springs, keep stock in the rear. Worse case is you get konis for the rear later down the road, and The rears are the easiest to swap out so you shouldn't be wasting much in labor costs. You can honestly swap the rears out yourself with tools that the average Joe would have. No spring compressers are needed for aftermarket springs on our car. well that's true for Comptechs at least.

Did you install the tokico's yourself? I've got them on my CL and don't know how to access the backs to adjust the stiffness. Kind of a Noob question but, hey, I've only had my CL for 2 months. Does anyone have any idea how I could access the top of my rear shocks without jacking up the car and removing the wheel?

well, from what my friend told me, you gotta pop off the bottom part first. it's really simple, just press in and pull up. then there's a bunch of bolts to unscrew to take off the top/back portion of the seat. I don't know specifics because he did it before i got to his house. I dunno why Honda made it so hard to get to this area in the CL. In my Accord all you do is just fold the seats down LOL.
