If you can afford them go with Zeal B6 Coilovers... otherwise Tein SS coilovers or Apex'i WS Coilovers should be fine. It's all dependent what kind of driving you plan on doing with the car.

most definately... "You get what you pay for..." it's obvious mantis23 over there knows what he's doing with his suspension. Tein in Japan isn't even that great

I think he knows they are better, but are they worth the extra money. If it was for an m3 id say no question about it, but with a cl, its not gonna handle like an m3 or sports car no matter what suspension you put on it. It still is fwd and has a 60/40 weight dist. I must say thou, that is the first time iv'e seen pics of those zeals and they do look amazing, but 2 gs damn.

Thank You.
I know the zeals are better, but for the price not worth it for the CL in my opinion.
