Nice job.

You don't know what "SUV-like" means until you've owned a CL Type S

Small children would get trapped in the front wheel well of the CL before lowering it

Remember that springs need about 2 weeks to fully settle and set to the intended height.

I've never heard of Tein H Techs for the Z lowering a G 1.25", plus the pics of your car don't look like it has been lowered that much.

I don't know...........

I disagree. Last car I lowered was exactly the same height from day 1 to Day 1050. I had the alignment done at the time of the install and it never changed. I think this in an old wives tale or else people have been using crappy springs.

That's right. I'd give it a good 4-5 weeks to fully settle.
