I have em and personally I think the front is a little low. With the OEM underbody kit I am constantly worried about scraping it on steep driveways.

How is the ride? Is it rough or is it close to stock?

I agree 100%. Ride is fine, only think is the front springs are a little too low.

I have them and like them fine. I like the raked look, with the front end a little lower, gives the car a more aggressive stance than it has as stock. The ride is excellent--it is not very harsh at all once the springs have settled. The major difference from the stock TL-P (which I have) is that when I drive over a bump, there is a single, controlled roll rather than the several bounces I had with stock springs. Because I live in a northern area where salt is used, I'll have to watch for rust...

I have them on mine and I think it is the best. I also like the raked look and I also have the kit on and I don't scrape at all. Thank god I don't have a steep driveway.

I worry about the same thing. Only once have I had a problem and that was entering a Dunkin Donuts parking lot in Newton. Sort of my stupid fault though, I was aimed straight on and going a bit faster than i should have.

Oh, and I almost forgot my stupid mistake at BestBuy, I pulled into a spot, put it in park let go of the brake and you know how the car rolls forward a little? Well it was just enough to put a few scrapes to the underside of my front kit You can't see them but just knowing they are there is bugging me to no end.

I learned my lesson, no more pulling front first into parking spots with those darn cement things.

But I love the comptech springs. Although I do admit that on some roads I take it easy, like traveling down Huntington Ave (anyone in Boston knows what I'm talking about).
