Whats the best suspension for the CL-S 6 sp.

I already had the Comptech springs so this time around I want better, tighter and of course the fexibility to make it higher in the winter and lower in the summer. I still want to use the Comptech sways and Comptech Titanium bar so whatcha guys think.

ok moomaster but can you hook a brotha up and tell me what makes them better is it the ride the overall flexibility or quality. Ive never had coilovers so this would be my first so I don't want anything to harsh or nothing to soft something like Comptech springs with stock shocks is perfect or maybe slightly firmer

The Zeals were designed with the Tl (Inspire) in mind. So the spring was designed for it with the proper valving. They have two, a street version and a track version. The street version is probably the best one for you as the track version will make you feel like your spleen busted if you ride over bumps.

1200 is the basic...1600 is the one comparable to the Teins. I've seen the Teins...bang for the buck...they are the best, but they have a lot of tradeoff. I personally have A'pexis WS...they ride fine...but the strut rate is set, so no adjustment there....and i think they are stiffer.

whats the ride like with the Zeals on and how low and high can I adjust? Are they better to install than the Springs and shocks I imagine so cause you can take out the whole setup. Would the Zeals work good with Comptech sways and STB?? Thanks MOO

Lou, i highly recommend the Comptechs with the Koni yellows. My handling is outrageous and i never have to worry about speed bumps or driveways.

I'd pick Zeals... they ride like butter once you have everything tuned properly. When I first had them slapped on, I got the spleen shattering feeling moomaster described...

You can get pretty much as slammed as you want...
Maybe this page will help you a bit http://www.endlessusa.com/estore/suspension_kit.php

I have had the comptech springs, the comptechs with koni yellows, the konis and H&R springs, and I have H&R coil overs on my golf, and I can honestly say, the Zeal Function B6 coil overs make my TL feel like the best suspended car I own, and that is really saying a lot

I don't know about the CL-S's, but personally us ITR guys prefer Zeals over everything else, including TEIN's. For the money TEIN's are very good but I heard of quality issues where it can easily rust. But the ITR is an allout track car and the ZEALS are really stiff, but handles like its on rails; not recommended for daily driving though.

Thats exactly what Im looking for handling like its on rails when I want and convert it to soft when I want can you do that effectively with the Zeals if yes they are well worth the price.

whats the big difference between the B2 and the B6

The Zeals are not too rough to ride around in....
I took my mom for a ride yesterday, and she agreed that my car is more comfortable to ride around in that her 2001 Toyota Camry V6....

I can second that. The Konis with the Comptech Springs kick ass. Handling is awesome and I am using them with the other comptech items you listed.
