Let's see your drop!!

I haven't seen any other thread on here dedicated purely to the ride height of the CL-S. Please post pics of your drop, and post up what suspension setup you are riding on. I'd also like to hear how ride quality has suffered with whatever suspension type you have.

Dirty pics of my Tein S Tech/bilstein drop.

ride is good, except that both my rear top hats are broken so it makes a horrible sound over bumps - getting fixed soon. Avoid the potholes.

I'm willing to bet the ride quality is pretty bad at that ride height. Looks good though!

Ya the ride is great. Even older people that are not into lowered cars agree the ride is better than they would have thought it would be

tahts what it is, just like stag wheels on a FWD car, its just for show. if u already have coilovers, lowering does nothing for performance, i should know, i ran my coupe as low as possible and it was performing worse on the track, raised her up a little, and noticed her performing better right away. looks good though low like that imho.

Whether its for show purposes or because he wants to ride that height, i think its badass. How many other CL's are brave enough to tuck tire on a regular basis?

Slammed cars = flared control arms upward, which = positive camber during hard cornering. That's why your car ran like shit slammed on the tracks.
