I believe all Tein springs are progressive.

finally got them installed, by motorsport dynamics here in sac, the install was $225 plus $75 for allignment. Here are some pics the wheel gap is a little more in front than back because of my sub box in the trunk but its not very noticable. the springs do ride harsher than stock but def worth the tradeoff

Those sound like good prices. I might have to go check them out when I get stuff put on. I noticed they listed for service:

"Factory authorized service and warranty facility for:

Apex-I
5-Zigen
AEM
Tanabe
Greddy
HKS
Hondata
Unichip
JUN "

Does this mean that if they install Comptech and something goes wrong...I'm screwed?

i havent bottomed the shocks out yet and it doesnt feel like im going to but i have scraped my exhaust on a small bump pretty bad the first week i had the drop and wasnt used to it, the ride really isnt bad at all, it is harsher you feel the same bumps you felt before but they jar you a little more now but like i said its definatly worth the trade off
