The Comptech drop looks a lot better than the Tein to me...

Nice sticker collection, AgentDSS.

I don't have before and after pics (sorry) but I have the Comptech drop and love it. It is the smallest drop and you won't need a camber kit like you will with some of the other drops. That will save you some $. I have had the CT drop for about 6+ months and had no problems with tire wear or scraping or anything else that you might be worried about.

There are pics of the "BlackmagiCL_S" in the 2nd gen gallery but I am too busy to find the link right now. (I have to head of to work!).

You can't really compare the drop of the Teins to the Comptech b/c the Teins are adjustable... Comptech are not. Automatic advantage to the Tein.

Those stickers were placed on the car and a pic was taken as a joke. Notice no stickers in the other shots. You can also see the stickers still have the protective film on them.

Well it just reminded me of a TL-S I saw the other day that DID have stickers like that, for real. My bad. I have sticker hate issues, what can I say? My therapist says it from not getting them on my school work in the 1st and 2nd grade.

Why do the Teins have an advantage because they are adjustable? Do people really take the time to adjust the settings day to day per driving conditions? The CL-S certainly isn't an autocross car either...

Not day to day adjustments per se, but more like depending on long distance drives or performance issues.

hahahahahaha Great reply

Well, the fact that the Teins are adjustable definitely gives them an advantage. You can set the ride height however you want. My understanding is that it's not that hard either. So, for example, if you like the Comptech drop, you could mirror that with the Teins, then when the winter comes (since we have snow in NY) you can raise the car to stock height. Can't do that with Comptech

Also, if you have a TL-S (doesn't fit the CL) you can get the Teins with the Electronic Adjustability and change the stiffness of the ride from within the car!

hey....do you think i need to get some aftermarket shocks with the comptech drop? i drive from orlando to atl a lot with a lot of luggage (back and forth from school) and i have a sub in there....will the shocks get messed up a lot quicker? and do you think the springs in back might end up a little lower than in front because of this? thanks

Eventually you will need to get new shocks, but not right away. Driving like that while lowered will wear out the shocks quicker then if you weren't lowered... but you should still get a good lifespan out of the stock shocks....

As for the back/front thing... you should be fine, especially since the Comptech's are slightly higher in the rear to begin with.
