Suspension, CL-S compared to a CL
What's the difference, if any, in suspension between the CL and CL-S?
I'm just curious. I'm having CT Springs/Sways put on my CL-S next week. I know there will be a marginal change in suspension (better/tighter) compared to a stock "Type S" setup. I'm just wondering if the suspension improvement is greater (more bang for the buck) for those CL (none Type S) owners who did the CT Springs and Sways.

Stejus - Using the front springs rates as a guage, in a call to CompTech the rate is 260 lbs/inch (1.7 inch lowering); 270 on a Tein H-Tech (their softer spring with 1.2 inch lowering) from their web-site. Most light sport springs are 15-20% stiffer than stock. I do not kow the OEM spring rates though I would venture not much more than 10% stiffer than a type S. Some improvement though Koni Yellow struts will give any spring much improved performance by drawing the car down upon expansion.
Do you know of OEM spring rates?
