Guys..... This newbie is from Sacramento. The chances of his CT springs rusting because of snow, sleet, and salt from those wonderful Northeasten winters are about as likely as Acura admitting they built shit tranny's and buying back our cars. On the other hand, you just never know. Look into H&Rs my friend, 3 options for lowering and cheaper.

I don't want to pick springs that I have to get a camber kit on, thats why I want to go w/ the comptech springs. Another thing is that they are so close to me that if they don't pan out I can drive over there instead of over the phone or email. People tend to get things done faster and more efficiently when they have to deal w/ it face to face.

H&R 50103 is almost identical to the comptech drop.

I had h&R sports on for 2 years. The drop was a little lower than comptech, but no rake. It was an even height all around. Right before i sold the car i did the brakes and the springs were dirty, but i cleaned them off a lil and was still able to see the deep blue paint on them. Not a bit of rust anywhere.

Thanks for the support

FWIW, the H&R's have been selling well lately, and these guys are right, there are three choices depending on how low you want to go. I personally have the H&R Sports and I did need a camber kit... but the drop is so sweet. If you're worried about needing a camber kit then you could go with the H&R OE springs and you should be fine....

A Plug for Junior. Probably one of the cheapest places to get CT springs if you're hell bent on them. Never bought from him but I've searched the net and C-C-C.net has good prices for most things. Good guy too from what I hear.
