H&R OE fronts / Comptech rears - pics

All done with the swap. Info on camber, height, etc in this thread http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=59775

Nice and level, a bit conservative for some. I love it. Ride is just as nice as Comptech all around, but handling is a bit more vauge. Not bad, worth the sacrifice as far as I'm concerned. The roads around my house are crap for now. Enjoy.

i agree, looks great.

Mack, do you think I will need a camber?..since I am a little lower?

MarcS, did you see any excessive tire wear?

What was your reason for doing this?

I think it looks too high, kinda how stock is too high, but if you like it that's what matters.

Amir - Can't say on camber for your new setup. MarcS will have to fill you in. My rear camber is L -0.7 deg, R -1.1 deg. Right is out of spec by -0.1 deg. No big deal.

JRock - Reason for doing this (H&R OE front springs, instead of Comptech) is no rake. I really wanted the car level, but not at stock height. Comptech rear springs level out better than H&R's.

Nova - Believe me, it's lowered. Pictures do this car no justice (white is a bitch to photograph with my camera.) It's lower than stock by quite a bit as I see it.

TypeR stated it nicely, looks the way the factory should have done it....

I didn't need a camber kit but i didn't get an alignment after i got the springs put on and i had EXCESSIVE tire wear (pic) I suggest just get an alignment and enjoy them Note that this was only my drivers side front tire. I had very little wear on the right front tire and the back 2 were fine.
