Thumbs up

mine are excellent. been driving with comptech springs for 200 miles and I cant even tell the differences betweeen stock and this. I will try to test drive CL-S and 2001 TL after i finish finals and see if they are comparable.

I'm running CompTech Springs and from what I've heard, it's something like only 10-15% stiffer than the stocker one's, so my ride is great for having lowering springs. I think that my 19"s with 35 series make more of a difference than the springs do.
I bet that the Eibach's are stiffer than the CompTech's.

I agree! When I got the Comptech springs I had stock wheels and couldn't really tell the difference, even when hitting bumps. When I moved to the 18's with 40 tires I noticed a world of difference.

I am running on stock springs/shocks now. After I changed my rims to 18" I feel all the bumps on the road. I'm sure it'll be enhanced further after installing my H&R OE springs.

It all depends on how you like your ride to be. I personally prefer stiff ride (not bumpy). I feel as though I am in *total* control of the car.
