Springs for 1st Gen CL

Which lowering springs do any of you guys have? Which ones are the best? Eibach? H&R? I heard the prokits are good but they don't drop that low. I don't wanna mess the camber.

I dont have any yet but im planning on getting the pro kit. I have heard nothing but good things about them but no its not a huge drop. You said you dont want to mess up the camber though and i think this is the biggest drop you can get w/o messing with the camber.

What he said

Seriously though, he's right, most people when they were modding the first gen went with the Eibach Pro-Kit for the reasons he listed above. You may also want to look into new shocks since your car is probably at least 2 years old by now.......

Hmmm...I have no doubt that the eibach springs are great, but has anyone checked out comptech's? Poeple with CL-S' like the comptech's right? So why not our cl's? Just wondering...

I remember you saying that once, but Tim has them listed for 97-99 3.0 for 299?

What kind of shocks do you have on your car right now CLpower? I remember your car being pretty low?
