Well, for one thing, the TL/CL are both built on the same chasis, so i dont beleive fitment would be an issue. they are 19x8 with a +35 offset with 235/35/19 tires....I am riding on TEIN SS coilovers and the ride is great...very smooth for such a drop IMO. I used to have CT springs and they are no where near as good. Cts were bumpier and dint handle as well...With the stiffer shocks provided by tein, the car handles really well...go with tein, and no other...i think they are the best...so far (knock on wood)

i thought the ride would suck with 19s but actally its not that much worse, very marginal difference.

oops, i mean +45 offset, and i took care of the rubbing by rolling the fenders, but, sometimes during hard corners, it will rub, but the sound is not as loud as before

Interior

We always get to see your exterior.. how about your interior? Are you going to do anything with it or have you done anything to it yet?

Installation

Oh yea... btw how much did you pay for your teins + installation. Cause I found them for $970 with installation, is that good? Also where did you get them installed b/c I rather go to a place where they've done the installation before on the same ride.

Thanks

thx...ill probably leave the interior as it is...cant think of anything to do that would justify my speding...i like performance mods better i guess...and looks of course...maybe ill add a sub later...who knows, i only do stuff to the car when i get bored, but now i got no free time....and for the install, i basically paid $925 with everything...including tax...where were u lookin to get your done at??...i went to SP Engineering in City of Industry...not far from DB...they did a great job, i think...no complaints or problems...plus i had them do a bunch of work for me in the past for my accd V6....

yea

Yea I know SP engineering is really up there.. I just thought there gonna charge alot since there history and all. I know SP is up there with REX motorsports in installations. I got my quote at Autohaus but SP I know has a better history. Is there a name I can get for the guy who works at SP or who hooked you up. Cause I know where it is and its not even that far from my house so its perfect. So can I get the guys name who hooked you up cause if they give me same price I got for 970 I rather get it at SP cause I know they do a good job.

Thanks Mr. Big

I really woudnt advise going to autohaus...My friends all have had bad experiences there...plus they are sloppy and lazy....they plain suck..IMO...GO TO SP forsure...u pay for what u get and they are known for quality...Ask for IVAN...or ALEX...Good luck, let me know how it goes!
