You want to do a suspension upgrade with your wheels?? does that make sense to anyone else?? lol

I think it's better to start out with front and rear adjustable sways, a front strut tower brace, and springs

dude, i dont know anything about suspension, but i know what you're looking to get out of it... what size are the wheels going to be?

im confused? if you want them to "stick out" you could get spacers in the rear? if thats what you mean....

ive got bilstein struts with h&R springs and i think it is perfect. the car handles great and its a bit lower but not too low that i cant drive it around all the time. i have scraped on speed bumps though...

I have cheep $6 spacers on. Have no experience to share cause the car broke right when I got them.

i wouldnt recommend spacers but if thats what you can afford for now than go with it the proper way is to get new wheels with a higher positive offset and wider like 8.5 - 9.5 . most spacers arent balanced so 90% of the time you will get some type of vibration specially in the front

I am only running them in the back. Have not felt it really yet but it could I guess. Have not seen the thing on the road in like 3 weeks.

Oh lol haha that's what I was assuming but I wasnt sure. I mean, TIRES make a ton of difference in the handling of the car. Definately go with the H&R struts and springs, because I also have heard that they work well. I also did front and rear adjustable sways which seemed to stiffen the car up alot more. Also on RWD cars I think the front strut tower brace helps a bit too. Just remember when you buy springs and struts and stuff, you get what you pay for. If you go super cheap with the springs they may end up being the ghetto "low ridr" springs which are soft as hell and have the car scraping on the ground.

get the wheels put on after you do the suspension... you dont want the wheelgap trust me.

what size are the csl's anyways? real csl's are 19 i think so i can only hope you got replicas in 17 inch or 18 at most

what do you mean by bulldog look cause i still dunno? or euro look...
