Get Teins instead of Comptech Springs...you'll be more happy with them.

I have the same question... does it really matter? Cuz I'm gettin my rims soon and I was wondering if I should do the springs first.

Thanks

thanks all....I'll look into the Teins....

It doesn't really matter because with the Teins, the height is adjustable, but if it's a financial issue, Teins first. I think the gap looks way worse if you get aftermarket rims but no springs. Look up blxmjx (Arnold) on the board...he has a groupbuy for the Teins for $850 shipped. The Comptechs are a nice drop, but after you put a 45 or lower profile tire...the gap looks like stock.

Get Sways no doubt. Freaking awesome.
If I were to do it: Sways, rims, then look at how your car sits, and then decide on the springs you want based on how much wheel gap you desire. That's how I'd do it.
