Eibach or Comptech springs?

Is comptech the way to go or Eibach sport springs. the comptech drop is a about 1.25 in front and 1.00 in the rear. Eibach is saying 2.00 in front and 1.50 in the rear. I just want the car to squat a little but with out the boy racer look. I'm riding on 19' axis mods- and with the maxis lip in rear. The rims don't look like 19's because there's not drop and plus their matching the color of the car. I need some help on this one. I will post some pics soon as possilbe

I'd go with the eibachs..

I have the comptechs now and they're not quite as low as I had wanted however they do ride pretty well. Just make sure you get some aftermarket shocks no matter which brand you get. your stock shocks are gonna wear and you'll be sorry you didn't do it at the same time. I've gotta get my new shocks soon.

hm

I chose eibach as well because I wanted the lower drop. The difference in ride quality was minor IMO from stock. Problem was though, when I went to put my sways on the dealer noticed some discoloration on the inside of the back two tires... the start of wear from misalignment. So I ended up having to drop more $$ on a rear camber to fix the issue. Both sides were 1 degree out of spec (1.5 degrees total from ideal). Not sure what other eibach pro kit owners have experienced, but I have seen a lot of CT spring folks say they did not need a camber for front or rear.

I went with Comptech because of the conservative drop. I think it looks the best.

I got comptechs last week and the ride quality is awesome, but I don't like the look. Stock the front sits lower than the back and I had hoped the springs would eliminate this, but unfortunately not. I need some help on deciding how to lower the back so the car sits level.

Any ideas?

try changing up the spring sets use comptech sport springs up front and Eibach sport springs in back. That should level the car.
1.25 in front and 1.50 in rear.

just a thought?
