Lightbulb Anyone's new springs settle too much?

Anyone with Comptech, H&R, or Eibachs experience the backend dropping down too much? Settling? I had a '92 Accord with Eibachs, and loved the ride. But, the back springs settled too much, and it made the difference in the wheel gaps look funny. I plan to get spring, Koni Yellow shocks, and sways (Eibachs?). Any input is appreciated.

Hey Sim,

This happened with my 98 Accord with Eibachs. Took awhile for it to settle. Put a camber kit on and it aligned perfect. I know the TL's suspension is different than an Accord so you should not need the camber kit but another alignment would fix it. Since I do not own a TL yet has anyone had there springs on long enough to see if they have settled? I will have mine lowered too and this is good to know. Another question, Do all springs settle or just some?

Victor!
About time you came out and joined us. Did you see there's a meet in Seattle on the 22nd? A Sunday, so we are working. I guess you will have to get one, then we will have a meet at work.
That guy never emailed me back, so I wasn't able to see and feel the Comptechs. I've heard a couple bad things about the H&R, so I may just go with Eibach. Even though people say they are too stiff, I liked my ProKits on my Accord, so they should be fine. Easy to install, too.
If anyone has any input, please help a white-boy out.

Sim,

Why don't we just take the day off and ride up together. I don't care who drives as long as its your car J/K. We can split the gas or even take my car I don't mind. I'm working for someone the two nights prior so I may not be able to get any sleep on that Sunday but if your driving I could sleep on the way up. I've never been to a car meet before.

Sorry to all about changing the subject. So all those with spring and shock experience please help us choose.

VG
