Hey Guys,
I have had my comptech springs for some time and can no longer find the spring rate tags that came on the springs. I want to know the individual spring rates for a possible upgrade project I am considering.Thanks.
Kevin

 

Come on guys. The spring rates were in every box of comptech springs that were sent out.
Somebody??
Kevin

 

Yep, I had them on mine. Although, shouldn't the rates be different for each spring produced? Yours may not be the same as mine or anyone elses. BTW, I threw my tags away.

I guess all springs are not created alike. Now what do you do, take an average?

Hey Al,
My front is stiffer than yours!
But my rear is saggyer. Ha Ha!

Does anyone wonder why all the cars look different with Comptech springs...

Silver 2001 CL-S with NAVI

• Mud guards
• Wheel locks
• Toyo T1S 235/45ZR17-97W* Proxies on 17x8" SSR Competition wheels (50 lbs less than stock)
• Comptech headers & sways
• Silver AEM CAI
• 12 coats of Zaino magic
• Stainless Brake lines coming (Brembos?)
• V1 planned

 

Does this variation only occur with the Comptechs or all other springs too?

 

Yassireee! I've got the ultimate "rake" look. It's so low when viewed from front and I love it that way.

I hope your bum doesn't get nicked.
