LOL no problem not bothering me at all. The ride feels the same its awesome smooth as always and the drop in the front is gonna be around 2.0 it just takes some time for it to set in, and the back is not as much about 1.5-1.7 from what i read. I just think its a perfect drop i wouldn't want it any lower.

I guess we were expecting to see a lower drop is all...

Hey, hopefully they'll settle in soon!

The drop looks fine. Any lower and all it would do is rub the fender and ride like shit.

stock tires dont rub much unless ur turning wide. you can still go another 2 inches.

and its not like rubbing is a "bad" thing.

i think this will be a perfect drop

It is if your looking for performance. Anything that rubs will slow you down

Not a fan of slamming the cl. I think the drop I have now is perfect.

The proper tire size and wheel offset will allow you to drop it without rubbing. But trimming the bumper tabs and rolling the fenders are pretty much a necessity.

Different strokes for different folks. Personally, the car looks like the rear is higher then the front, so I do not like it.

I think it's just the pics. The silver CL above these posts looks like it's the one sitting lower in the front

I don't believe in making permanent alterations to cars.

AMEN bro... I had an Aegean Blue Pearl CL-S 6speed with h&r sports. Road great and actually lets the car rotate a little better in turns but I digress... For some reason your aftermarket rims are pushed in and not flush with the body. My bronze Volk SE37A's were +42 offset. I have pix still if you'd like to see.
