it all depends on what you get.

Comptech springs 300(+/-) + 300(+/-) for Tokico shocks.

H&R OE Sport springs are like $170!!!

Tokico shocks are the cheapest I've seen (quality/price) You can get adjustable shocks. I think Tokico Illuminas are like $400 for all 4.

 

I have the Tokico SP (blues) they're great, stiff, car handles well. Had them on my civic too. If you're not going to be doing any type auto x racing or whatever blues will do u just fine. The Illuminas and Koni yellows are adjustable, stiffness wise. I think that depending on the perch setting on those they may lower ur car a bit more than the blues. So really its just about what u desire in performance and how much mulla u wanna dish out

 

That's probably the route I will go, but I'll probably pick up some used CT springs. People always seem to be selling them on here. Thanks for the help!!

Oh BTW, congrats to pmptx with post #10,000!!!!

 

get the blacks (newer ones) not the silver ones. They used to rust really bad.

 

I'm pretty sure that the comptechs are 1.25" drop not 1.7" but I could be wrong

 

Besides the rust, is there anything different?? There always seems to be the silver CT for sale and I figured that I would just sand and repaint

 

Its 2.0 (f) 1.7 (r)

I dont think there is anything different as far as ride quality. I know with the blacks they are Eibach springs stamped Comptech

 

Yeah, You must be talking about the guy on ebay that always has the tokico's in his ebay store... Fuzzy02cls and a couple of other CL guys have bought off him.

If I was going to lower my CL, I'd be leaning towards the tokico blues and H&R OE 51858....

 

whats with the sudden interest in our thread John?

but its always good to have a masshole in here...

 

yea, thats him!

Ethan....he just wants to be part of the DFW crew, plus hes got a CL, he can stop by.

 

believe me, Ive known John for some time. He is more than welcome to be part of our crew.

 

more new england blood!!!!

 

It's really easy to adjust coilovers. Springs/Struts aren't adjustable unless you buy the Koni Yellow's I believe. You can lower the perch.

 

Trey, install it yourself. It's not too bad

 

If possible, I would just find some used coilovers. I bought my Apexi coilovers for $500 shipped brand. Tein SS go for $600 shipped all the time.

 

I believe you're right, just a mild drop and no need for camber kits.

 

Sup Greenie, how'd you get in this thread

 

Ethan, you going to have the drop by the 21st? You can do the SS while I do your springs/struts I talked to the guy with the Volks and it seems to fishy, I'll get you a price soon

 

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is

 

Don!!! There's no way I could slam my ride as low as yours!!!

 

Speaking of camber, you got yours looking totally sweet, better than the showroom!!

 

ITS BECAUSE teh snaps bought a 03cl-s with navi and didnt tell him

 

 

greenie in the hizzowse... hi john...

 

Nope, we're going to drop down to division (D2). D1 is mostly the showcase teams and they do way too many tournaments . . . expensive ones at that. Probably close to $8k for 1 year

May 12th at the Texas Motorplex . . . come on down and break your car . . and you in right.

LOL

So, 02 . . . I guess we'll get to see and hear them at the track meet.

Ruf

 

Especially if you have some miles on it already . . ., but I did keep my stock shocks because I did mine with less than 8k on it.

Dang . . . it's tough carrying the weight of this group . . .

Ruf

 

And I do have some miles on them, about 90K. I think the shocks are the originals!! That does it, I'm getting the CT springs and the Tokico HP's I saw on Ebay. Thank's for all the help guys!! :gheyhug:

 

so u get them???

 

Not yet, but I will!!

 

as of tonite im at 112,xxx and my power steering pump is about to go out....it whines when i turn and sometimes clicks when im turning sharp

its getting old guys, i wish i wasnt so attatched to it.

 

Thanks Jordan BTW, you sure that's not your cv joints giving out? Clicking when turning is usually cv boots ripped

 

yeah sounds like an axle to me... is there any fluid leaking??? it could be a combination of both... since your boot is leaking, the PS resivour is running dry... so that why it might be squealing... check into that...

 

that'll run ya a pretty penny ouch

 

It's a combination of things... .

Snaps bought a 6spd CL and didn't tell me... Htown told me there were pics of said car in here, and we had a Masshole meet a couple weeks ago, so I had been checking the Meets forum often...

You probably won't see me for another 400 pages

 

Just take a peek under there and check the boots for any leakage. If there's any thick gunk saturating the boot at any point, your boots are cut. If your power sterring pump fails, you'll know. You'll feel like :killer: trying to turn the wheel and it just won't seem to turn at low speeds without serious forearm effort.

 

Man, thank god for this site!! It's good to have a bunch of guys on here that know so much about my car!!
