Hi all. It's time to update this thread! As I just collect my artic blue cl9 luxury today.
Will provide more photo, and more detail later as it was a busy day.
Good work mate, how do you like it? I've had mine for almost 2 months now and I still love it. I still look forward to driving it.
Lux cl9 got a very good package. I love the interior of it & the exterior looks sporty but luxury too. But I think it got a bit body roll & suspension is a bit soft and cornering in a bit faster speed is not that accurate. I am thinking of getting front strut bar first. Later may consider to get lower spring with shocks. But I would start a new thread for my car & future mods.

Don't worry about replacing the front bar do the rear only.18mm will do the job then get some decent shocks with lowered springs.Then maybe a front strut brace.This is all you need to do to the suspension.

Thanks Tony. What's the difference of getting a rear strut bar & rear sway bar? I think rear sway bar also does the job of reducing body roll. Sorry I am noob to mod.

Sway bars are also known as anti roll bars, and reduce body roll. A stuffer rear sway bar on a FWD car will improve turn in, power down and reduce understeer. Too stiff a bar will ruin ride and may cause lift off oversteer when pushed past 8/10.
Strut/Tower bars are designed to improve structural/chassis rigidity and reduce flex in the body. You may notice reduce rattle from your dash on bumpy roads but I doubt you'ld notice any other improvement. Not like the CL9 had a lot of body flex to begin with (there still is some though).
