I want to run a little pole to see how many miles people have on their springs, and if they're noticing any tire wear. thanks!

 

If you drive harder, the tires should wear faster. Or do you want to run a little Polish (pole) person around to see about springs? (j/k)


Did you want to know this?

OR

"Noticing any uneven/abnormal tire wear w/Comptech Springs?"

?Spring sag?
?Uneven wear?

BTW -- Ever notice how the Comptech "sprung" cars seem to have different heights and corresponding fender to wheel gaps.

...???...

oops! meant to write "poll". wrote that at 5:30 am when i needed a break from studying from the endocrinology exam i just finished taking. whoohooo! it's over!

i do notice a difference b/w various cl-s comptech "sprung" cars. some i like, some i don't. that's part of the reason why i'm holding off on them. i'm also holding off b/c i'm really concerned about tire wear. in my last car (98 prelude) which was lowered only 1", it had bad tire wear in the inner edge. however, neuspeed said originally said to not expect any tire wear. and i had allignments done very often.
so, i'd like to see if most comptech "sprung" cl-s's are having EVEN tire wear, and if so, how long they've had the springs.

i know if i drive hard that i'll have tire wear, i just don't want UNEVEN tire wear.

 

Just had my car up on the dealer's lift yesterday. I was having the peeling mufflers repainted along with having the tires rotated. (...thanks Jens).

Anyways I was interested to see if I had any tire wear due to the Comptech springs. I saw none. I was looking at the wear on the interior side of the tires and I saw none. I was doubtful so I asked Jens and in regards to the wear he said "Life is good."

Regarding the peeling mufflers. Jens said that I shouldn't hope for miracles about this lasting to long. Reason being this. "The mufflers are made of steel and how many colors did the Delorean come in?" I just wish I hadn't heard the Comptech exhaust on Wayne's TL-S when I was there.

I haven't noticed any abnormal tire wear to this point. It's been about 1500 miles since the springs were installed.
