What gives?! My comptech drop isn't even a drop!
I just had my friend put on my comptech springs and koni shocks today, and after he put them on the front, i don't even notice a difference in height! It looks exactly the same as stock! What's going on? Does anybody have an explanation? I left the back ones stock until I can get this figured out. Any input will help. thanks.

the comp springs drop the front at least 1.5 inches...some konis have an adjustable perch to lower the vehical furthure some are set up to raise or lower the car...which koni s do you have

If I ever have to change the stock shocks out to KONI's, I will get the H&R springs and sell my Comptechs.

Oh i forgot to aswer your question.... I did not notice much difference either after I installed the springs.. I thought it was because of the stock shocks... but after about a month the springs settled and I can get 2 fingers inbetween my wheel well gap on the fronts.

If your car had Konis on it when you got it there is a good chance it also had springs already. The comptech drop is mild but it's definitely noticeable.

I think you just forgot how horrendous the stock front wheel gap was.
Your car shouldn't look slammed but you should have lost the SUV styling. If you can't fit your entire hand in the front wheel gap then the springs have done their job.
