Here she is, no longer a 4x4


dirty as hell, but with salt snow and other crap all over Minnesota right now washing is more or less pointless until it clears up a bit.













My buddy Josh (asujosh1) demonstrates poor wheel gap:


And now Josh shows proper wheel gap

 

looks good

 

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Urgh... Snow =[, supposed to get some wednesday. WAHHHHHHHH =[

 

Camry's have huge wheels gaps, my mom has one and im parked right beside it in the garage, it feels so nice just to see how low my car is and how high her's is. I am lowere on Tein Basics.

underst8 - you are a brave soul for driving so low in the winter time, I have my car raised becuase I dont want ice scraping my lip kit and headers constantly.

 

haha I know I considered waiting until spring but then my better side took over

I've done some plowing of my parking lot already but it is worth it for the sexyness!

 

look better once they settle a bit

 

looking good dude

you need to drive that thing out to chi so i can see it in person.

 

lookin real good. i would suggest you give whoever did the job a pat on the back cause they look like pros :P

 

The INJEN sticker looks HOT

 

looks really good. good job

btw, it is just me or your front looks lower then the back? isn't it suppose to be 1.8F/1.8R?

btw, how is the ride? any different then stock? i mean firmness can u notice it?

 

i <3 dropped CL's on 01-02 wheels. get rid of that sticker and find some 03 headlights and you are $$!

 

Yeah i need to pull the sticker off - and headlights eventually but my $ is going into the performance first.

turbo_911 - the ride is stiffer than stock, going over rough pavement you feel the car bounce a little more/firmer but it is not unpleasant at all i rather like it. It's a perfect compromise of looks/handling/ride comfort I think.

According to Tein, the S Techs are:
Front = down 2.1"
Rear = down 1.7"

 

that's for Acura TL but when you look for Acura CL its different, hmmm

SKA34-AUB00 99-03 ACURA TL 297/157 2.1"/1.6"
SKA34-AUB00 01-03 ACURA CL 297/157 1.8"/1.8"

 

looks good what's next on your mod list?

 

Where are you getting your info?

look at this chart, towards the bottom:

http://www.tein.com/price/acura.html

-seems to be accurate as to what mine did...


Next mod is probably going to be a camber kit once I get it back from the alignment shop But then my UR pulley gets installed, then some sways or headers but probably not until the winter ends...

 

at this chart lol the first one i think....

http://www.tein.com/tech_info/h94-ya4.html

 

haha that is kind of funny. I think it has to be a mistake because I don't see why the CL and TL would be so different with the same spring family. Plus mine looks like the 2.1/1.7

Put yours on and we will have a verdict.

 

lol ok, but that will be maybe in a week or two, cuz i have finals next week and gonna be really busy...

but yeah it is weird... maybe they didn't change the numbers on those two pages, who knows

 

fk finals. put on your shit you big baby.

 

lol yeah right :p i would get if i won't study....

and btw, i post when i'm in college like right now, lol

yeah, i'll try my best...maybe this weekend or next.... we'll see

 

ha good luck on that shit.

I post when I'm at work like right now lol - helps me not go nuts here.

 

its up to you guys to make sure my boy doesnt turn into a ricer

 

Looks great man. If you black out your chrome trim with Trimbrite T9005 from Amazon.com you will thank me later!

Again, looking good!

 

Thanks dude. I have thought about blacking out my trim, but was unsure of how it would look without 03 headlights to bring it all together. Considering the shit is only 6 bucks on Amazon I might just order it and see how it looks.

 

I just did mine a few days ago...might want to get 2 rolls, I needed it after I used up a bit of the 1st roll testing it out to see how it went on. I'll have pics up soon but it looks tits with my 01 headlights. Good luck!

 

I love tits

 

I would have dropped it after winter. but I got the same springs.

Maybe for the difference between CL and TL is the weight.

 

huh??? me too, but....i guess i missed the joke. lol

Nice drop i like how it sits. It just snowed here in jersey too. Unfortunately, they coat the streets with salt when it snows like .039384th of an inch. I like washing it off asap tho. If the salt causes the asphalt to erode, crack, and form potholes, imagine what it does to your delicate paint!!!

 

Awesome Drop, Does Eibachs give you the same drop? kinda the same..?
R.

 

eibach prokit will be a very similar drop based on numbers they provide...like 2.0/1.6 f/r for the eibachs and like 2.1/1.7 f/r for the s techs or something.

 

Looks sweet. What size tires do you have?

 

Look Out For Eibachs!, Thanks Man.
R.

 

in my opinion i think tein s are better and cheaper

 

spring rates will be different - it comes to personal preference. I got my Teins cheap tho

Tires are stock CL-S size - 225/45? or whatever, got them on the car. I am putting new ones on after winter - something with a little more kick.

 

That's an understatement.
