^is he right? i like pretty much everything you've done to your CL. especially your wheel/tire and brake combo. but, i will never like those types of grilles. me likes the rest.

Not the tails.

And the grill will probably go soon. Had it for a while and its time for a change. Want new wheels too, but can't afford them right now.

I was going to say that it looks a little lower than last time I saw it. That, and the Brembo's. But I think you've had those for a while.

i see that you also have the CT drop. and it looks like these Inspyres you've got are 18x7.5 and 48 offset since i see them sticking out a bit. i wanna know what dimension tires you've got. i think that's a 40 series tire. and it looks great. lmk

I do have the CT drop, although everyone with Comptechs (silver) I've compared mine to has seemed a little higher than mine
The wheels are 18x7.5 with a 50 offset but the fronts have a 5mm space to clear the brakes. These tires are a 235/40/18.

Yeah, everyone is higher becasue your springs are probably deteriorated. I used to have those springs, then one day I jacked the car up and saw that they were crumbled...

Which is why I decided against them, when I was going for springs.

Your car looks great, Bret! I like what you've done with your headlights. An SSM, Titand19 grill would be sick though.

Looks good Brett. Make sure your dad doesn't get his hands on your keys no more. When did you get it done?

when i got my CL, it already came with the silver set of CT springs. not too long ago, i was getting my Tokico Illuminas installed, and the springs were completely fine. no signs of deterioration, rust, scratches or nothing. anywhere. guess i just got a good set before they started making the black sets.
