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.

hmm maybe you put the rear springs in the front

AQUI NO!

not possible, the shock perches are spring specific.the drop isn't major but should be noticeable.

GOT PSI?

The Comptech spring should have lowered the front at least 1" to 1.25". It is a very subtle drop compared to H&R Sport.

give the springs a couple days to settle and you should see a difference.

CL FWD SPEED

Perhaps you should get the Tein SS coilovers...that way you can adjust the height that you want

My CL ended up (down?) 1 5/8" front and 1 1/2" rear. No system, stock shocks.

i thought the same when i installed mine

but 2 days later they settled and the car is much lower

ChadT

You sure the car doesn't already have springs on it?

Now that they've settled they look ever better however when I first had them put in I could definitely tell a difference.

darrinb

you should be able to see a biff diff. even before they settle

typeR

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

I have koni yellows

then you should of went with the H&R springs....

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

Smitty

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.

Chaptorial

Why is that?

typeR

which koni yellows? SP what?

Smitty

i like the H&R drop....my only concern would tire wearing issues..

Seattle Cl-S

I've never had any wear issues...and I used to have SO3's.

ChadT

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.

Linner

should of gone with the eibach pro kit, u would have noticed a difference in a sec

spdy0001

The koni's were installed with the springs according to his first post

Red-CL

You should definately notice a difference from stock. I did immediately.

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.
