wrd if i had a tsx it would get all the monies too
i really would love to have a red tsx 6spd with navi and ebony int.

says "hello to my TLX".
i swear i was close to leaving a note on a Anthracite 2G CLS in a parking lot yesterday telling them to drop that mofo. he had some tint and black/polished lip wheels going but ready to hit the hills.

Hey guys, just a quick few questions. I also want to lower my Cl-S but don't even know where to start. First of all, let me say that I would need something adjustable so that I can give it some height in the winter, we get about 10-15 inches of snow at occasion. What parts would I need??? Springs...?????

you need coilovers...go with tein SS or apexi WS those IMO are the best bang for the buck tein SS is adjustable ride height and struts.

Personally, I think it's sitting at a perfect ride height.

what i like about the setup i have now is that i went to a tire with a less tall of sidewall so i have the same drop as some people, but it makes the body sit lower than if i had the 50 sidewalls.

Here's a question.... If you lower it with coilovers, then get your alignment done... Do you have to have it re-aligned every time you adjust it up or down thereafter?

Oh great, another dropped, but otherwise stock looking cl... 
just kidding. Your shit looks clean. I love it to death. (I'm back to riding on stockies as well ) and slammed btw.
What's the measurements you put it 2? I adjusted mine to 35mm all around; I'm going to re-adjust to get all the gaps perfectly equal though.
