Comptech Springs Ordered!
Autocarparts is definitely a fast and easy shopping experience..definitely reccomend using them. I'll let you all know when I get them. The drop is going to be subtle which is exactly what I want. I'll get some before and after pictures. I'm guessing it won't be all that noticeable, but the comptech name and keeping the suspension in spec(camber) was something I wanted.

I thought you were waiting on more offerings, why the sudden decision?

I'm not sure who i'll have install them. Anyone have any reccomendations for shops in san diego? I suppose I could have acura do it, but somehow that seems a bad idea to me.

Tinky, hurry up and get em installed, I want to see lots of pics.
I was really leaning towards coliovers so I can jack the car back up for the winter months but a 1" drop probly won't be too much of a problem in snow? what do you guys think?
An Acura dealer here in T.O is selling the Comptechs for $345 CAD taxes in. They're also charging $81 an hour for labour and they say its a 4 hour job. And they reccomend an alignment.
With the current US/Can exchange rates I can order the springs from autocarparts.com for $246.54 CAD or $280.20 CAD with shipping. But the border fees will probly end up bringing the cost to more than the $345 CAD.

coilovers would be sweet... but i'm trying to be financially responsible which is a big conflict of interests with moddings
The one inch comptech drop should be really minimal. Enough to clear most of the wheel gap but that's about it. I wanted to leave ride close to stock which I'm hoping it will.

I ordered my comptech springs through autocarparts.com and they sent me an email saying they are on backorder for 2 weeks. I wasn't going to install them anytime soon anyway so I kept my order through them. I got the comptech's because they lower the least. Got them for $208 shipped by the way, the cheapest place I could find on the net. Don't worry about the warranty, Honda/Acura has to prove it was the springs themselves that caused the malfunction. My salesman even asked me if I was going to do some mods to the car. And told me about Comptech and said a whole bunch of aftermarket products are out there for the TSX.

I didn't like the neuspeed on my CL much... personal taste it was too bouncy. Only reason I wanted to go SPC is beacuse isn't it the same as Comptech? And like i said my main concern was acura and thier warranty bullshit. palm beach acura swears up and down that there will be no problem with comptech parts.
