Need Opinions: Comptech or H&R's (Pic's inside)

Hello All,

I need opinions on what type of springs to get. First, I was going to get the Comptech springs, but after seeing the H&R's they look nice as well. I've included some pics to get some opnions. My rims are R1 Racing Wheels (Gun Metal). Based on the pics, which springs would make my car sweet but not slammed?

Its all a personal thing. Comptechs give more of a stock ride but the H&Rs are close to stock also and give a slightly lower drop. Its all up to you.

I put Comptech Springs and I love them and they get a stock like ride but a nice drop...

I like my H&R Sports 1.75/1.5. Comptechs are cool too but I didn't want to pay that extra money for same stuff. Both are good, but when I was about to purchase, comptech was #3. Mainly I was looking at Eibach and H&R. Haven't changed sig yet but that's car before lowering... in album some of the pictures(one in alley) are lowered.

Here's the best pic i have so far... never took a side shot in yet since i just recently installed them(need to settle them in).

i got comptech...i wish it were lower...but its still nice and the car is still very drivable...i dotn scrape on speed bumps and scraping on inclines can be avoided at very very slow speeds...anyhting above 5 mph ussualy ends witha nasty sounding scratch...

I have the Tein High Tech springs. Drop is similar to Comptech, maybe a bit lower, but not as low as H&R Sport, so kind of in the middle. Nice ride, great handling, they worked for me.

H&R Sports, hands down. You've got 18"s. You need the extra drop of the Sports over the Comptech's.
