Pics of H&R Drop
Well I finally got my springs installed and they look alot better than in the pics.
Front Gap
Rear Gap
The ride is still reasonable, but the handling improvement was well worth it
. For some reason these pics make the car look like it sits higher than it does. Once I have time to wash it I will take some better pics. Now I have to start saving for some 18's

The gap in the front is higher than the back, but the front does sit lower. The front wheel wells are about 1.5 times bigger than the rear. If you look at it from a distance you can see that the side skirts have the proper rake. Im sures is the same steve. Unless I get coilovers the car will never "look" level because of the 6spd tranny being lighter.
I have the 50103 sport springs, because I couldn't see spending the money to lower the car by 0.5". No offense to anyone who has the OE springs but they seem kinda pointless to me.

Im awaiting my order of H&R Sports (50103's) to be here on Monday. Im kinda confused seeing the most recent pics between the 50103's and the 51858 or whatever it is. RESEARCHING the springs FOREVER I was under the impressions the 50103's were supposed to drop the car even where the gap in the front and the back are the same. The 51858's was made for the accord and therefore sagged the cl's rear. But recently Cannizz11 just posted pics of his 51858 drop and he had PERFECT drop where the front was "SLIGHTLY" raked. What i didnt want was the gap on the rear well to be less then the front! 
WTF! I paid the extra money for the 50103's and now it seems I should have just gotten the 51858's for cheaper with a better even drop!

Which model springs do you have though? 50103's or the 51858's??

I didn't need a camber kit
Car is clean now too so hopefully I can get some better pics this weekend.
It was great today at lunch, as I was sitting in the resturant with the car in sight, I watched people walk by and do double takes

OE's are 51858-88..... the Sports are 51858 and they are a noticable drop, check the pics in the sig.
Or you can check this thread , very noticeable.

The difference between the 50103 and the 51858 is that the 50103 is made specifically for the CL. The 51858 was originally made for the Accord, but work on our cars because we have the same chassis.
Typically the 51858's would get rid of the slight rake that the CL has with the stock setup. The 50103's tend to preserve that orginal rake since they are made for our car.
