H&R.Eibach.Comptech the best?
I was thinking about getting new springs for my new Type S but just can not decide what is best for my car...
I know that Eibach is horrible on bumpy road and H&R gives a softer rider and Comptech people say its just shorter version of your stock springs....
so pls help me decide guys

H&R are the most comfortable and driving orientated. Comptechs are very close, but they have a raked drop (more in the front, which some don't like). Eibachs should only be used of you're a very aggressive driver or racer.

I had the H&R sport springs installed 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. They didn't trash the ride, they are a little stiffer when you hit potholes or speedbumps, but the improvement in handling is substantial. You don't get that body roll heading into corners, etc. They lowered the car filling up the fender wells nicely.
The only thing that I have noticed is that going into my driveway the passenger side, rear spring makes a noise, like a single twang.
I'll have to take the digital camera out tonight, in the last two weeks I have done the Comptech header, H&R springs and xpel clear bra ( had them cover do the body kit as well).

I can tell you that the H&R dropped 1.75 front and 1.5 rear, don't have experience with the neuspeed.
RMAN, I'll take the digital cam home tonight and post some pic's in the next day or so.
I am getting the bumper piece replaced due to a defect in the adhesive. I didn't have them do the hood, didn't want the line, sticks out on a dark car. I did have them do the headlights, bumper, side body kit pieces clear up into the jam (protects against dragging feet across that surface when the door is open), and the bodykit behind the rear wheels (in case the rims I get make the tires stick out). I don't think they stripped the wax off, I had just put my second coat of wax on a few days prior to them doing this.
