Answers are; no and no(aligned to stock specs). I have the comptech's. Yes it rides different, a little more snug and feel to the road. It's not bad; feels more like a Nike compared to a regular gym shoe.

CT springs are awesome...no regrets...although, ricers tend to pick a race with me more often.

Here is the URL:

i like em too, i've had em on for about 7k miles and my dealer says the tire well is 100% normal. love the improved handling. i wonder how much the skidpad rating improves with the springs.

No regrets here. I still think the car should have come stock with comptech springs.
There is just a certain confidence now. Can't really pin point it but just more confident rolling down the street.
Springs, sways, and different tires.. now you have a canyon carver.

Do yourself a big favor and also get the sways. They help the car both tuck in much much better and lessen body roll. In fact there HARDLY IS any body roll.

Good luck …

So far so good.
I was asking a few guys at the meet last weekend about this.
One guy with a TL has been running comptech srpings with stock shocks for 2 years. He has not had any problems.

yep, only for the reason that eibach told me that their sportline were made to compete with the cheaper springs on the market. I wish i still had that email, but it's gone.

The shocks...so far, so good after about 2k miles. If you want a canyon carver, get springs, sways, Konis, (or just shell out some extra cash for coilovers) and better tires. Astro has the whole set and he said it handles almost as well as his Porsche. Any comments Astro?
