^ Aloha. I only know the length from the arc of the fender to ground, but it's currently sitting 64cm front & 65cm rear. I forget the factory length of those, but if you know it, you can do the math to figure out the drop in mm. Basically, I have 1 finger gap in the front & 1.25 finger gap in the rear as of now.

Btw, all of my pics of the car with blacked out headlight housings have 1 finger gap all around; Currently the rear height is slightly taller than the front right now.

What are your front and rear spring rate in kg with your teins ? Can you describe how it ride and compare vs stock ?

Did you tried any other spring rate setup ?

Btw any reason you height up the back of the car ? Just for style and having a raked style or more for practical reason (ie rubbing ) ?

I forgot the rates but Tein's web site should give you the exact #. It's pretty much like stock at the softest setting. It can also be very rough but fun driving around corners at the stiffest setting.

Wanted to get more ground clearance from my mufflers & avoid the boat-look remedy, that's all.

Notes kept from fellow 6GA members’ wisdoms:

"Manifold part# 17160-RK2-A00 from Acura
Manifold cover part # 17116-R70-A00 from Honda
P2R adapter part# P383B= (Black), P383R= (Red), P383= (Silver)
P2R gasket part# P141
P2R gasket part# P149
That is all the part #'s for the parts that you will need to make the 09 TL awd manifold to work.
You will need qty of 9 bolts size 8mmx65mm with 1.25 pitch.
For the manifold gasket i can't find the part number but just call them. They have awesome customer service.”


“Anyhoo. ... happy to hear that you're going the j37 route. Everything works ok except the imrc ... problem is that the j32a2 IMRC is spring retained ... meaning the j32a2 ECU only sends the open signal ... once the open signal stops being sent by the j32a2 ecu, the j32a2 IM spring closes. The j37 IM IMRC requires both an ON and OFF signal to open and close ... respectively. Thus we left the butterfly valves open all the time and did not wire in the IMRC signal. You might lose a bit of torque low in the RPM ... but you gain a bit in the higher RPM band.”


“No real issues from running that (J37 IM). Basically just have to block off one port”.

“You’d have to either put in an entire harness and re wire it to your accord cluster and hvac, or just cut one plug off and re wire into your existing dash harness in your accord now.”

I was about to point you to Jakub's (sonni_kuba) post on using the J37 SH-AWD IM, but looks like you already found that data.

So, you should post your CL-S in the non-6GA rides section since you'll be rocking that for a bit....haha

Yes, sir. But thanks for your support!

Lol. It will be just a bone stock CL-S in red, partly banged up.. It probably needs an air freshener or two as far as the mod list can go, till the car gets apart lol.

J37IM Swap:

"Manifold part# 17160-RK2-A00 from Acura
Manifold cover part # 17116-R70-A00 from Honda

Parking Brake relocation:
"Ebrake is a little tricky. There's already spots marked where you have to drill holes on your car but there's no nut welded on the bottom so you'll either have to use a tap to create 2 or 3 threads in the sheet metal or use a rivnut to add threads"
