i really want to do the swap but then again the cl has a few more performance and cosmetic options available. the cl wont make it to the two following weeks bc i still need to get parts for it and have a safety inspection done. now its a salvage title and cant be driven on the street until it passes the saftey inspection. and in chicago it take forever to get an appointment

im going to swap the suspension from the tl to the cl (so the cl will be slammed now), along with a progress 3rd gen sway bar that i never go to test on the tl, now ill test it on the cl
you kno tom, slammed doesn't help on the track right? you need some suspension travel, i learned that back in the day when i raced my coupe slammed and raised her up, omg what a positive change in performance. slamming is for sho. das it.
no, that's the thing about the coupes. forget rear passangers. my coupe (the legend) doesn't even have a back seat.
this is why coupes>sedans. the perfect excuse not to need to lug 4-5ppl in your car. no thanx. oh and btw, coupes have more room in the front.

i know slammed is not good for track, thats why i can raise it up a bit. and then lower it for show. wont be as good as getting some lowering springs and adj. shock but o well.

what im gonna try and do is do a stock dyno run and a stock 1/4 mile. then after every mod (TL and IM spacers) do the same, and keep going.

who wouldnt want less room, awkward times letting rear passengers in or out, and the ever fun "OMG CAR ON FIRE AND I CANT GET OUT OF THE BACK SEAT!" playtimes
