Nice info. Just to make it easier. Here is the text from the link

I drove up to Comptech yesterday (1100+ miles round trip) because there’s an annoying squeek coming from the driver’s side suspension. Turns out the spring installer cut the rubber bump stopper when he shouldn’t have. I have to go back to Group 5 and have them replace the bumper stop on their dime now. Pls contact me if you’ve had springs installed by Group 5 Motorsport.
Now for the major scoop of the year! They have a working prototype of the SC running on their Accord! Woohoo! They got all of the parts in last Thursday and installed them Friday. The tech made a quick run down the block on Friday to verify that the SC was working. They were getting ready to dyno it when I left. Another bit of good news is that they were able to fit a smaller battery next to the SC so they won’t have to relocate it to the trunk. Rumor has it that they may offer different pulleys w/the SC for a (small) variety of boost levels. That’s a rumor so take it w/a grain of salt. That’s all I know so don’t ask me any questions.

Cool things from the trip: Pics! Coming tomorrow
Stopped at at gas station to fill up and a couple in their late 50s had spent the day racing together at Bud Willow. Big deal right? He was driving a red M and she had a beautiful blue M3. Should have snapped a pic….grrr..
Comptech is a first class organization. The shop floors are swept and mopped and a guy was even cleaning some the windows. They’re a very profession and organized outfit.

Met MikeB and Bob. Great guys to talk to and even gave me a small tour of the place.
Shad was the tech working on my car. Another great guy and very knowledgeable about everything.
I’ll probably remember more tomorrow. 7 hours driving yesterday and 8 hours today have taken their toll.

I can't believe you drove all the way there for a squeak! Where are you located? So was that Comptech's solution to the squeak? To get full-size bump stops?
The bump stops on my TL's stock shocks were trimmed a little when I installed my Comptech springs and I've never had that problem. I had some clunking noise since installing my springs at the right rear but it was caused be the bolt that connects the swaybar to the suspension. It moved and allowed the hole at the end of the sway bar to wiggle around the bolt.
Let us know how it turns out - squeaks and rattles drive me nuts!

Did they mention anything about the exhaust alignment? My comptech exhausts are still hanging uneven!

I don't think that is related to comptech. Because my stock exhaust are uneven and I seen other TL's with stock exhaust uneven. It's a factory thing. The dealer should be able to fix it.

I live in San Diego and squeeks drive me nuts! The trip was well worth it and CL is the perfect cruiser.
The shop cut at least an inch off of the bump stop Guess they don't bother to read the instructions.

 

i cant believe that the tranny might be such a problem, damn, 8-10 boost? sound like its not worth it, for 3-4g for a set up like that, and soon after that probaly another 2-5g for strengthning the tranny...
i wouldnt mind if it were just one these problems but since more things may arise, might not be a bang for its buck...
