Tein High tech luxury masters or Comptech springs?

What would be a better drop and which one is more of a comfortable ride?

I haven't seen a lot of cars with the Teins. According to the drop info on the Tein website, the front will be a lot lower than the rear. The new CT's are more even all around. The CT's were prone to rusting, but I think they solved that problem.

I also like the H&R sports. That's what I had on my CL before I got coilovers. The back is a bit higher than the front. And they were fairly comfortable with the stock struts/shocks. They will drop it abouit 1.5 to 2 inches.

Keep us posted on what you get.

I just put the Tein H techs on my TL and all I can say is WOW.

Ok here is a lil review. I was expecting my car to ride rough but my car still rides like its factory maybe even better. The handling is awesome. I mean its no go cart but a lot better than stock. The H techs feel like what Acura should have done. The ride is smooth. I feel the speed bumps a little more but, still better than my stock RSX. I can tell that the car is lowered but my firends cant. If u are going to improve your handling, and not sacricfice the ride the Htechs are the way to go. Check out the pics below and if u have any question I will be more than happy to answer them.

This is not true. I have the H.Techs and the drop is even. The front looks higher because of the way the wheel well is cut.

H.Techs are the balls. You will be very happy with them.

I'm on stock struts. Bilstein is developing struts for the CL. I'm putting them on once the OEM stuff fails.

I live in Mass also and as you know the roads s---. I want to replace the stock springs and shocks, get a slightly lowered look and get shocks that will keep the ride firm but not jarring, especially between the snow and mammoth pot holes.
I'm leaning towards the Tein Luxury springs and either Tokico's or Koni's. Any preferences for shocks? Also tirerack is selling the Eibach Pro Kit and Sportline springs with struts, sways, etc. Anybody know if one of those will fit criteria or how they compare to doing Teins and a good shock/strut?
