Looks hot, what springs did you go with? Thought you were thinking of getting rid of the CL?

very nice. I can't stand cars at factory height but since I am not modding the CL since the TSX gets all the mod money I am living with it for now. If you sell the car part it out and hit me up I will buy the suspension cause I will only ever put coilovers on cars I own. I have the TEIN Flex on the TSX and Love them.

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.

My car sits about that height, on H&R's. Remember though, he's on "adjustable" coilovers, meaning he can raise it up or down. You can't do that with simple springs.

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?

If you mark the setting where it was when aligned, lower the car and put it back to your mark it should keep the alignment

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.
