I have Zeal coil overs, so I can't comment on the apexi's but I think they are supposed to be pretty good!
how do you like your CL-S so far?

Hey Astro,
Love the CL-S even though I haven't yet had a chance to WOT her without the Traction Control / Stability Assist light flashing like a disco. Oh well... guess I'll have to wait till the good weather and some summer tires.
How do you find the Zeals? I originally asked someone at Johnston Research & Performance (JRP) about Zeals (by endless right?) and he said I wouldn't like them, and that they would shake my guts out!... He suggested the apex-i's for a trade-off between performance and comfort!... How do you find the Zeals... do you like them!

who do you talk to at JRP, Steve?
I find his prices to be a bit high sometimes...altho I have purchased soem VW parts from him in the past...
I haven't put the Zeals on yet, but there is a member here who has, and they commented that on the softest setting they are very much like stock, but if you crank them to 6, the hardest setting they are like rock hard racing shocks!
I'll be putting them on in the spring so I will let you know
the CL-S is far more fun in the summer, that's for sure!

Amir, call Al Solaroli...his adress is 40 Melford Dr. it's just of Tapscott which is east of Markham Rd right off Finch.
He is my Porsche mechanic, but I'm sure he'd put springs on your car for you.
His number is 416 332-1100

last year i asked sherway acura how much theyd charge to install springs (out of curiosity) and they said theyd do it for $150 since im a regular customer there. not sure if that offer still stands though. that price is better than most import shops

Ontario meet and new site
Hey guys... can't wait till the meet!
If you guys want to organize an ontario meet before the niagra one, you could direct the traffic to my new site just launched yesterday!
http://www.tourc.ca
Click on the Forums and make a new thread for CL meet or something.
If there are details that are finalized, I don't mind posting them including maps etc... in a central area on the site / it's own page.
Anyways.... the sites just getting up an running for Ontario people, cuz there's not much for us canadians so hope you enjoy.
NOTE: I just bought my summer bling, and I'll be rollin on APEXi coilovers with Racing Hart 19x8 C2 multi-piece wheels and Yoko 235/25/19 rubber. I'm also mounting a APEXi RSM guage in the sunglass holder..... can't wait to meet you guys, and hang out with other CL owners.

Hi astro
How are you doing, Astro? Long time no talk. My car hasn't been quite lucky lately. First, my passenger seat doesn't fold anymore. The, I got a door dink by some rusting old car even I was parking miles away from the entrance of a mall. Last week, the curb at the stupid Hilton parking lot put a big scratch on my rear passenger side rim.
How is your new TL? Still driving it?
What do you think of the new 2003 CL-S? I may consider it if I get really upset if the scratch on the rim.
