2001 CL-S Navi
18x7.5 Nex-O PX-5 wheels
Tanabe NF210 "normal feel" springs
PIAA 19224 roadlamp bulbs

Damn nice pics and NIIIIICE car mang! I REALLY like the wheels. What drop are those springs running? Your pics quality is great too!

Thanks, the drop is about 1.5''.

Very nice :thumbsup: great pics

Very nice. What kinda camera did you use/what resolution? Looks either like the camera was really good or you scaled it down a bunch.

Car is hot too, the rims fit perfectly. The drop isn't slammed or anything, but it's classy.

Thanks, the camera is a Canon Powershot G3.

This was my first experience with "normal feel" springs. I've been really impressed, I can't feel any difference whatsoever from the stock ride, no bouncy ness of any kind. Only change is that it feels so much easier to turn. There's not much wheel gap and I can still go over speedbumps easily and get in and out of my driveway with no problems.

Oops and the pics are resized from 2272x1704

Gorgeous car, gorgeous pictures. :clap:

Your pictures look like stills from some spy movie:

SCENE 111: The Master Villan steals into the abandoned parking garage at midnight, gliding silently in his intimidating black car, on his way to pick up the suitcase full of... :D

wheels look good and the drop is perfect. Where did you get the springs by chance?

saw the pics on OT. ;)


nice

Nice ride homie, I just can't wait till mines gets out the shop.

very clean!!

what kind of lights do you have in your fogs? also, are you headlights standard 4300k or you upgraded them too?

those 18's look sweet, what did those run you??
are those 6000k bulbs in the headlights?
good choice of camera too, I wish I bought the 5MP but I got the Sony 5MP instead.

The fogs are the PIAA 19224, headlights are standard, looking to upgrade soon.

I think it was around $1050 with tires.

pics are too dark to see the drop, but it looks good

damn that is a clean ass cl. nice pix and nice rims!!

hot rims!

darn nice !!!!

not bad :thumbsup:

Mr.Fusion... Do you have any close up pics with good lighting of your car? Im curious about your drop. I just wanna see more pics so i can see the gaps.

The site http://www.turboimport.com/catalog/acura_cl_tl.htm shows that those springs are 1.5fr and 1.0r which is the same as the "old" comptechs. If additional pics are given I may order these springs!

I would also like to see that

Are those stock light bulbs for the headlights?

Here are some daytime pics for those who requested:

Yes the headlight bulbs are stock, it's probly just the image cooling in photoshop that's making them appear more blue.

LOL, crap! Your car is black, and the second set of pics you posted I cant tell where the top of the tire starts and how much gap you have between the top of tire and fenders! :)

I guess if you dont have any more pics up close of the wheel gaps...
What size tires are you running on your 18's?
How big are the fender gaps in the front and rear, how many fingers, estimated inches etc?

Sorry for the questions and all, but im deciding between these and the H&R Sport Drop. I feel the sport drop maybe too low for me, these Tanabe's may be my answer to a old comtech like drop i have been looking for! :)

Maybe these can give you a better idea. The tires are 235/40/18

The last 2 pics where taken on a slight incline in front of my house, so it may appear just a little higher.

Thanks!!! Great pics. Just what im looking for!

those rims are pretty sharp looking

Those rims with tires for that much makes them even look better! :thumbsup:

:yes: my thoughts exactly!

Nice. The drop is definatly noticeable. how do the springs ride? stiff? soft?

Here ya go :) Unless Mr.Fusion wants to add anything.

I guess i might get these springs....This thread is the only review/post with pics that I have seen for the Tanabe's but they look like the springs im looking for. They look almost perfect. The H&R's Sport drop worry me just a little around my roads....plus i think im just being a puss about them :(

I wish someone could post some pix with the tein luxury master springs I want to compare

me too!!!!! :(

How much do new springs cost, and do they void the warranty, Either way SICK CAR

what kinda wheels are those? lookn sweet man

:thumbsup: Your car is absolutely beautiful... That combo of springs and wheels gives the car a nice balance of aggressiveness and class. Did those springs introduce any camber issues or uneven tread wear on the tires?
