C/T springs...is the ride quality the same w/ teins???

I currently have Comptech springs....however am getting tired of seeing all these dropped cl's w/ tein coilovers. My question is...if I swap them out for a set of tein coilovers...will the ride quality change at all???Also what other coilover or spring sets will lower the car w/o changing the ride quality compared to the comptech???Has anyone replaced their comptech springs w/ another brand and whats the feedback???

I don't want it sloppy and bouncy like stock...however I also don't want to have the whole car feel like it's gonna fall apart when I hit small bumps or potholes....Are teins the only other coilover set-p's avail for our cars that have adjustable ride qualities???And how is the bumpiness of H+R springs compared to comptech??Sorry for all the questions guys...thanks

The Tein Coilovers do actually feel pretty close to the Comptech...slightly stiffer. Depending on how low you want to go, you may experience other problems. The ride is not bouncy at all, reason being was because the springs were designed for an Accord which is 400lbs lighter than our cars. But if you go too low (i.e. lower than 2.5 inchs) than you may experience "bottoming out" issues. I've had the Teins for about a year and then I upgraded the front springs 2kgfs more for better performance and still rode fairly good.
