CL-S24

Looking for the best ones. Just SPRINGS... maybe something else later... I have a 01 CL Type-S. I heard some of the Eibach VARY in drop...so which is the most consistent? or are all CL's different with the drop? I do everyday driving no racing, track or anything. Just want to get rid of the close to 4-finger gap in the well and make it look 'aggressive'

I say H&R sport. I have the H-tech and now in hind-sight wish I would have gone with the H&R's.

CL Platano

Eibach Pro Kit or Tein Coilovers ...I have H&R and wish I went Eibach, but now I got coils.

Stealth CL

werd, I dont really think the H&R drop that much, and arent they kind of a raked look? The Eibach pro-kit has the best looking and lowest drop for just springs IMO

CL-S24

Stealth, I like the way yours is dropped...and the TL rims too. Is yours a self install or did a shop do it. and either way, what's the avg. price to pay for having the shop install em, just the price for installation.

Stealth CL

me and my buddy did them...hes also a certified mechanic so....I think the avg. price for a shop is what??? $200-300? IDK im guessing, somebodyelse chime on this?

CL-S24

WOW!...i just got a quote from an acura dealer and they said 600!!! (including realignment) that seems like ALOT!

Stealth CL

thats why

CL-S24

that's an understatement...time to look elsewhere

CL-S24

So i'm gettin the Eibach pro-kit installed tomorrow. do i get the alignment after driving 50-60 miles?

AcUrAge703

I've been thinking of buying those....did you get struts too or just the spring....whateva you did....let me know how the ride is.....and if the outcome is good i might buy the pro kit and put it on my stock struts till i pass 64k when factory warranty goes....

Stealth CL

i got an alignment after about 300-400 miles, keep us updated.

CL Platano

I would definately get an alignment and camber kit set up with the Pro kit

My H&R sport drop had no rake, completely even drop. I actually wish it was raked, cuz now with my huge sub system its a little lower in the back.

CL-S24

All done. The drop is probably more than I would've liked, but it still looks nice. I guess it drops diff for every car. The ride was still very pleasant for me. obviously i can feel some bumps a little more, but i avoid them in the first place anyway. handling was noticeably better, can hang turns ALOT easier. I would say the trade-off is great! fun to drive now!

AcUrAge703 - Yes, I got only the springs, so stock everything else.


I'll post pics soon, left my cam at my friend's place

same here. i too would recommend the H&R sports, especially for everyday driving

I want 19 in rims w/ 235/35 tires. dont want a real low drop but dont want to ride high, whats best spring to go with without spending much over $200

I have the Eibach Pro Kit with struts, springs and sway bars.

Switching to the Tein Super Street and EDFC.

I have replaced 2 rear struts from Eibach, and don't even have a stereo system in the car. They keep collapsing for some reason. They assure me they are working on the problem, but who knows how long it will be till they come up with a solution.

Don't mis-understand me, I loved the kit, and I still like the way it looks/ride height, it is just annoying that it continues to have problems.

I'm glad you got the Eibachs. I have the SportLines on mine ('Post yo pic' pg 5) & love the ride. I've done coilovers on other vehicles & it's not a good idea if you still want a somewhat 'cush' ride.

I had to eventually get the rr. coilovers since I went through tires about every 6-10 months!
I do miss the handling w/out the camber kit though as to I could take highspeed corners a bit faster but I like saving $ on tires.

Can't wait 2 see pics in the 'Post yo pic' thread!

CL-S24

aright, so this is the end result...dropped a little lower than i thought but better than none at all. love it!

Great shots.......nice drop.........sits like mine

Stealth CL

gosh comparing the 2...its makes the first shot look like you got it jacked up. Nice job

AcUrAge703

man that looks tight....i should stayed updated on this thread....now im def gonna by those.....just to get that 4x4 look away...then after that...i'll save some money for some tein ss....

CL-S24

so should i go with 18's? or stick with 17's? the servo's look sick, but i'm still looking around. just wondering if the 18 look would be too much with the drop. 19's....i really doubt i'll get em.

Lord Helmet

Looks good, man. I have the H&R's and I can tell you that yours is raked way more than mine. I went with h&R because I didn't want to mess around with camber issues, plus it was noticable yet subtle at the same time. IMHO, it has the look the CL should have had from the factory.

609CLTYPES

sorry for the noob question, but what the hell is raked?

Lord Helmet

It's when your front end sits lower then the rear. Reverse rake is the opposite obviously.

609CLTYPES

AHHHH i know what you mean now, i didnt know that had a name though lol...
i just learned my one new thing for the day...

looks sweet.... Those were the springs i was considering. How is the ride? i want something that is close to the stock ride.

CL-S24

The rise is close to stock, but obviously you get a few bumps here and there. I'm very happy with the look and feel. I'm gonna post some pics in the post yo pic section and photo gallery

tonyval03

how long has been since u put on the springs and how is it riding now. Did u get the alignment and camber kit?

CL-S24

I've had em for almost 3 months...handles/looks/and feels great. I did get an alignment, but didn't need the camber kit.

zoltar

18's will look better than stock, because it will look more proportionate. make the jump

CL-S24

18's would be next on my list...cant stand the curb rash on my stockies

tonyval03

Thanks Ive the same cl and im going with the eibach springs. Did you use the eibach kit for the alignment

CL-S24

oops guess i answered that wrong...I didn't get anything else. just a standard wheel alignment at wheel works after install. All i've got is the pro-kit.

Looks good as hell!!

Hows the ride on those eibachs compared to stock?

Did you get someone to install those or did you do them yourself?

CL-S24

I wish I could've done it myself (why didn't I take an auto shop class?!?!?)...had a shop do it. Couldn't be happier with the ride.
