Post I know its repetitive but please help!

I don't have time to look this up, but please help. Which is the best setup for lowering the car-Comptech, Eibach, H&R, or Nuespeed. Why? Ease of install? Ride? Do you need shocks with it? What was the Cost of your install and equipment? Void warranty? Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!

You don't have time to look it up? Cutting your stock springs of course!

Yeah but I figured since he doesn't have time to look for himself I'd be a jerk.

Since you already found your answer, I guess you don't need a reply from us anymore.

Comptech Springs, Shocks are up to you... Ride would be a LOT more stiff with upgraded shocks, IMO.. You can drive the car without changing the shocks.. 99% of the guys on the site that have springs didn't change their shocks, and noones complained yet, myself included..

If u want to really lower ur car u should consider coilovers, they come with shocks already so they don't really cost more than springs and shocks. I'm ordering my apexi's from Tim soon . Very good deal. I've also heard the ride is not as stiff as people would expect and it handles 100 times better.

I like The H&R on my car. They are only $160 about $100 dollars cheaper than comptech. Ride quality din't change much. Same or better drop than comptech.
