Yea, I believe your correct on all points.
I would personally go for Comptechs... cuz I really like the drop they give... very clean.
Ive also heard good stuff about the Eibachs.
Dont know too much about H&R... but a member by the name of URIX just got the H&R's I think.

I like the comptech springs. Comptech claims that the springs are only 15% stiffer but that's not true. You can definitely feel the road more. Over smooth surfaces they fine. I'd buy them again just because I can't stand the fender gap!

1)Nope, but I'm really careful too.
2)Thanks! If I remember correctly the drop was ~1 inch in the rear and ~1.5 in the front.
3)Small bumps aren't that noticeable anymore, so I guess I've gotten used to them.
I didn't see a speed bump once and plowed right over it. The impact wasn't too bad all things considered. I would say that they're more progressive than stock.
They sure are fun though! I was entering an on ramp and caught an SUV at the bottom (and sharpest part) of the turn. He tried to keep up with me but was pitched way over. I flew by him mmmuuuuhahahha! I know that's not very good competition but I was accelerating like mad out of a decreasing radius turn!

1. Have you ever bottomed out with them.
2. Your car looks great -- have you ever measured that actual amount of drop.
3. How is the feel of the car over small bumps vs large bumps (do the springs feel more progressive than stock)?
SORRY -- OFF TOPIC COMMING:
Your GTECH time (0..60) was 6.08 before the Comptech headers -- what is it now?
Was the 6.08 totally stock (no headers, no tires, and broken in)?
