I know they're a modest drop (which is what I'm looking for) -- but how have the springs affected your tire wear? How many miles have you put on since having them installed?

Thanks!

I think that just the fact that the car handles better would tempt the driver to throw it around the corners a little bit more and therefore increase the wear.

Personally, I just got the Comptechs installed a week ago and I know that I'm really testing these stock tires a lot more!

Just got my Comptechs last week also. I love them. I have to say it did wonders for the way the car looks and handles. I took and curved exit ramp at 65mph the other night and it felt great! Couldnt do that with the stock springs.

I took a curved ramp at 92 mph on the way to the NJ TL meet, the car would've handled it PERFECT except the near bald stock tires lost contact with the ground and I slid a bit sideways. I got off the gas and recovered VERY quickly. The spring/sway combination makes a WORLD of difference. Just have to get tires to go with it.

The drop is approx. 1.25" according to Comptech. I love the looks, I love the ride..Just waiting for the weather to warm up so I can install my sways!

Acura3200, yeah im working up to those speeds. lol. just got my springs last week and i dont have the sways yet. I agree new rubber is a must.

My Comptech Springs and Sways are working well, however, I seem to notice the need for tires even more now. I suppose that I'm working our weak sidewalls a bit harder with the body roll having been decreased.

Also, although I've only had the springs for approx. 4K miles, I believe that my shocks are starting to take a beating. I'm in and out of NYC every day so that has probably accelerated the shock wear. Shocks will be my next move along with tires.

Any thoughts out there? Koni Adjustables?

I had my springs & sways installed yesterday so with all this rain I couldn't really check them out, so today I got a chance to check them out and I have to say they handle great, but like most of us who did the upgrade now I have to look at upgrading the rubber
Oh well more $$$$$$
