well, my first mod is gonna be springs...i've searched through the archives for info, but i haven't gotten any comprehensive answers...so can you guys answer the following questions for me?
what's the justification for buying the comptech springs, which are over $100 more than the H&R springs? also, how much does an alignment cost?

I think we discussed these extensively... but anyways.
Comptechs are better (IMHO) than H&R when installed on TL's. This is due to the fact that Comptechs are made for TL's while H&R were made for Accords.
Also, Comptechs give you specific ratings for each individual springs. It comes location specific (right front/left front/right rear/left rear). H&R come either front or rear.
I have had H&R OE springs before and now Comptechs. And I am glad I switched over.
Hope this helps.

personally, i think the H&R's are just fine. the ride quality is pretty good, not too firm, not too soft. i think the H&R's drop is a lil' lower than the Comptech's. i never tried Comptech's so i can't really compare but i'm very satisfied with the H&R's.
