Your choice of Comptech, Neuspeed, H&R and Eibach. Check out Chod's FAQ

I vote Comptech. I'm sure others will follow with more choices....

No real comprimise in ride quality, other than slightly stiffer. I'm still using OE shocks as well.

No need for camber correction kit either. If that matters to ya.

I've got no rubbing at all with my Comptechs. This goes for both sets of my wheels (16's & 17's.)

I'm getting my Comptech sprongs put on tomarrow........I picked them because I have never heard anyone complain about them. I am also putting on my 19" Hagens (+45 offset) ASAP. According to Soopa, I won't rub at all.

I had comptech springs on my car and i replaced them with H&R race less than 2 weeks ago. If the comptech drop is low enough for you go that route, they ride better and your car doesn't need camber kit(s). If you wanna go lower the H&R's are a good choice, the ride is firmer but still not bad and i'm still running stock shocks. The H&R's are also much less expensive, but you'll prolly need a rear camber kit. I can still fit 19's w/ the ecorrect offset too. H&R also makes sportline springs that are in between the race and comptech drop. It all depends on what you want. sup bl^5.

Well the main question is those putting on comptechs or H & R springs void any warranties?

I like the H & R sport drop in my opinion

Big thumbs up for the Comptechs. Ride height is right for me, i've had no problems with driveways etc., and i love the rake to the front.

Hey guys, I'm putting on some Comptechs this weekend that I bought used for about 6 months.. should I still need to wait for them to "settle" before I get an alignment??

Hey I bought mine used too (sup mattg ) I plan on getting mine aligned when I put them on and every 6000 miles thereafter as preventative maintance. These tires are too expensive to do anything less. I have a lifetime alignment from firestone so there wont be any additional costs for future alignments!

The spring question your asking is pretty vauge. Do you want the raked or even look. Slammed or no slam. A little wheel gap or no gap. Ride quality sacrificed or no sacrifice.
Each spring as its own combo. I got the Eibach Pro-Kit w/ stock shocks. The ride is a little bouncy but not much. I have almost no wheel gap in the rear and about a 3/4" - 1" in the front. The drop is pretty even. Also the prices vary too. I think the H & R are the cheapest and the Comptech are the more expensive. Im not sure though
