Questions about springs and comptech exhaust

I just bought an anthracite 6-speed 5 days ago. I want to lower the type-s for looks purposes only without it riding like a go-kart. Any suggestions for springs? Also, will I have to get the front and rear realigned?

I also want to add the comptech exhaust. How is the sound? Does it accentuate the growl? Is it loud or subtle?

Is there a noticeable performance increase with the AEM intake?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Okay, let's see:


Springs: Do you want a slight rake? Get Comptech's sport springs.
Do you want an even drop? Get the Eibach or H&Rs.

AEM CAI: Sounds awesome, adds a few hp and probably a bit better gas mileage.

Comptech exhaust: OMG it's tight! The very slight rumble when the car is running is sexy. Plus when you give it some gas it sounds less raspy than stock.

I would recommend getting the Comptech swaybars done when you do the springs though. The sways really help our car a lot. Much tighter handling.
