Lol I see, i guess ill just have a nice surprise on my doorstep in the next few days, Im fine with that long as it at least comes this week.
So stonedCL you say the progress RSB is that great of a companion to the B&G lowering for our cars? Im thinking about it since my car is most likely going to need a tighter ass with my +40 offset 19's so that I dont rub when going quick around turns

I went with the progree bar cuz its the thickest of all RSB (i got the one for the 3rd gen TL) Fits our car Perrfectly, and its adjustable (there are 2 holes on each side so if you want to change the stiffness of the ride in the future u can. Make sure if you get a RSB get sway bar links (moog) I had to pretty much destroy my stock ones to get them off the OEM are messed up there is no way to hold one end when turning the nut so I had to double vise grip it to get them off and afe=ter all that I WOULD not reuse them, and the Moog ones are Greasable in the future.. I love the way my car feels now, its like a totally new car handling wise... Now im doiung my option pulley tommorrow and megan or OBX headers in the next month so my speed catches up with my handling!

Nice, Im probably doin headers in the next couple of months, lets hope our tranny's dont shit on our parade. RSB is coming before that tho, Ill take your advice on the end links too I'd rather save myself the hassle

I might have to try out this B&G setup considering I was under my car today and discovered the rear springs were starting to rust 
and replace the RSB along with the endlinks (mine broke and its quite annoying having to slow down on on/off-ramps)

I think the B@G setup is perfect for where I live a little lower would look better but might kill the comfy ride, And i drive into manhatten alot and those streets suck like going off-rad on some of them. Im am still VERY happy with this set-up and how cheap it was..Like i said B4 4 da $ u aint gonna find anything better..$460 shipped.4 springs and struts...lovely!

I really havent noticed roughly but it does go side to side gently no more then the stock set-up. I REALLY think it feels stock and i drove this car stock since june 2000 so more then 8 years!

Its $450 I bet the bilstein/eibach set-up is more $ and not nearly as good.
I am 100% satisfied with this set-up not 1 complaint, I would not even complain if it cost $800..
Do yourself a faver and go to excelerates website and order it TODAY.
You will not be dissapointed many people got it AFTER me and too have no complaints!

Dude why ask so many questions, I TOLD u a long time ago when your car was making front end noise to go this route. My car made so much noise every little bump it was annoying, now after the B@G my car is quiet (stock quiet) handles 10X better and is just as comfortable as stock...

Well like $609 if u want to be exact.. Eibach is a GREAT company also you should have no problem and got a great price!
I guess $160 is not the big of a difference so its up to u guys and which to get.
I did ALOT of research b4 I picked and i like having a lifetime warrenty, a co-worker had 1 blow after 4-5 years on his civic and they sent him a new one no questions asked!

I ordered my B&G setup a couple of weeks ago, received them last week and installed them today.
First of all, thank you to Excelerate for everything. Great communication, great people excellent customer service.
Second, thank you for NiteQwill's DIY writeup. I've been wrenching on cars since I was 8 years old and have never done struts. It was a spectacular write-up and was able to do them in just under 4 hours (a couple of rookie mistakes and a coil spring compressor instead of a strut compressor - in the middle of the first strut.)
My CL had the original struts under it with over 160k miles, so anything was an improvement. I also have 215/35/19's so you could imagine the ride and how it looked. After the install, the rear sits great, the front sits a little higher but I think it's an optical illusion because of how much bigger the wheel well is. So far, it's a lot softer than before and a lot of the noise has gone away. I have a funny noise that sounds like I left a socket loose where the rears mount at the top, but everything came out and went in really well.
I totally recommend this setup up!
