I have heard people say when you lower with comptech springs, you get a "rake" look. What is that? When you lower with H&R springs, you get an even drop. I know that there is a difference, but what is it?

 

The rake look is the front being dropped more than rear. It makes the car have a more agressive stance IMO.

ahhhh.... icic. thanks. that is what my gut feeling said, but hey, that gut feeling has been wrong before!

What kind of paint did you use to paint the engine cover and the battery cover. My car is WDP and i'm thinking about painting the covers in Blue.

 

I thought comptech & H&R sports have same amount of drop

1.75 front & 1.5 rear

 

sounds like an interesting combo...I was thinking of Red to match the Type S and the red AEM CAI I'll eventually get.....it looks good on alfav6's SSM TL-S

 

if you measure the wheel gap of the TL, I believe the front has a bigger gap than rear, that's why with a more drop on the front, you'll get the even wheel gap for H&Rs. I think the comptech drops more on the front (less on rear) to get the rake look.

 

comptech is definately lower in the front. I have H&Rs and the front and back are even

 

H&R Sports give a 1.75" drop all around...Comptech gives a 1.75" in the front and a 1.5" in the back...
