Not Low Enough?

Does anyone regret not dropping their car lower. I have Comptechs and I dont think they are low enough. I want my wheels to be tucked. Any suggestions on what other types of springs to get for I might get rid of the Comptechs.

If you want them really low... I have two suggestions for you.... adjustable coilovers or H&R Race springs.

I don't regret the comptechs at all.....it's the perfect drop in my opinion.......anything lower just doesn't look right on a luxury sedan

I think its a decent drop I just really dont like that wheel gap when you squat down to look at it... Maybe its just me Ill just wait until I put on the skirts and see how it'll look.

I have the H&R race springs, and Im wishing i got the eibach sportline's. My old was a 99 accord w/ 4 1/2" drop... had wheels tucked the whole nine. Now this car looks like an off roader to me lol. But I do like the fact that my camber is not too bad so tire wear is not a big issue w/ this car. Old car went thru front tires every 4,000-5,000 miles it was terrible.

I felt exactly the same as you did. So I took out my H&R's and put the teins on. Almost as low as you want w/out rubbing and ride adjustable. I'm so happy I got these, it rides so good. Just wished I did it the first time.

i like my ground control. i can even slam it even lower. dont you liek that. why get springs that only have a set hieght. you know what i dont like about your car tho numbaone the back is lower then the front. if you look at mine the front is lower it looks better like that. not hating but your shoit does look bad tho

Trust me...get the Teins. I thought I was gonna love the Comptech drop for like ever...boy was I wrong after 2 months...now I am getting my Teins Aug 18 and not regretting. It's not exactly the cheapest springs and shocks you can buy, but it's probably the best for the price. $850 is a damn good deal right now...it was $950 a few months back. My friend has the Comptechs on his TL with stock shocks with the body kit and he RUBS...he is planning to get Teins too. Adjustable height AND adjustable stiffness.
