your opinion about the comptech springs

I am thinking of lowering my cl one inch, and ended up with 2 choices to pick: 1) Comptech or 2) Eikebach.

And do both springs after installation will still leave the car leveled on both front/rear?

thanks,

The comptechs will not leave your car level 1.5 in front 1 in in the rear. The eibachs are 1.75 all the way around. I have the neuspeeds and they are 1.75 all the way around as well. I am not sure about H & R. Hope this helps.

how is the ride on the neuspeeds. I have heard that some are bouncy and others arent too good. But Ive heard some are ok too. Is it much worse than stock?

I just put Comptechs on my car and I am MORE than satisfied with the way it looks and handles. A friend of mine has Eibachs and it looked to slammed for me..........I'd go with Comptech.

Comptech leaves it very mildly lower in the front than the rear.
This is opposed to buying a set that lowers it equally front and rear leaving you with the "sagging rear end" look.

Definitely go with the comptechs or just buy some coilovers.

It's on you, What do YOU want?

Everyone has their own taste. The more you drop, the more you feel the drop. I went with comptech because I didn't want to sacrifice to much ride and I wanted to clean up some of the wheel gap. With 235/45/17s it now looks perfect in my eyes, not to low, not to high. But, that's just my opinion.

I LOVE the ride with the neuspeeds. they are real close to stock. I rode in a car with the eibachs, and I did not like the ride. I thought mine was smoother. As long as you put on koni's or tokiko's, the neuspeeds are great. It's when you leave the stock shocks on, when you get the bouncy, bad ride. The comptechs didn't have enough drop for me, and I didn't like the rear eibachs being progressive rate. So Nuespeed it is for me!!!!
