Base on your experience with springs. Which would you prefer, H&R sports springs or Comptech sports springs? Please give a short reason why you choose one brand over the other. Thanks!

this is hard. my preferences change like weekly. some weeks I'll hate my comptech rake.. then other weeks, I'm so glad I have it instead of the even H &R. I dont know.. The car looks so bad (meaning good) when viewing from behind at night when you have Comptechs.... the rear end raised looks more aggresive imo

Is there a glitch in the Matrix??

I think I see check boxes for the choices rather than option boxes..

check boxes allow you check both, while option only lets you select one..

I went with Comptech because of the rake look. I had heard others both on this board and elsewhere say that H&Rs OE sport didn't drop evenly from left side to ride side. This, albeit very slight, would have bugged me just knowing it. I also didn't like the look of the rear being dropped more than the front, kind of makes the car look like you are driving around with a dead body or two in the trunk

I think the H&R OEs vs Comptech is a no brainer for Comptech, but the decision is harder with H&R Sport vs Comptech because they drop about the same.

The rear of my car is not lower than the front. If anything, there is a slighlty greater wheel gap in the rear than the front. I got H&R's because I know the name, know they make quality springs. I, on the other hand, heard more Comptech owners complain about uneven drop from left to right. Not knowing who makes the springs for Comptech was another thing to consider, as well as the price.

I have a slight bit of rake on my HnR sports. Meaning the back is a bit higher than the front. Nothing 2 100lb bags of cement in the trunk won't cure if you don't want a raked look! LOL!

SimTypeS:
Just to clarify I was refering to the H&R OE Sports, not the H&R Sports which you have

I prefer the Comptechs myself.
I chose them b/c Comptech is designated to making/selling parts for Honda/Acura only...I don't know about you but I feel that I can trust a company that is catering to one car manufacturer more than a company that is trying to please them all. Besides the raked look gives the car a very aggressive stance and leaves you room to load your trunk and still look even rather than sag.

Go with the Comptech baby

I went with the H & Rs. The drop is perfect and the ride quality is not bad at all.

So which ones give ineven drop?

copland007

Depends if you mean left-to-right or front-to-back.

Comptech's front drop is more than the rear.

Although I haven't seen it myself, others have said that the H&R OE Sports are uneven left-to-right, but only a little. You wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it.

Hope that helps.

im stuck on both and I know going the cheap route doesn't always do it for me...im more than likely gonna buy comptech springs and sways...only thing about the comptechs is that question of not knowing who manufactures them...its all good, but truthfully I know that the H&R's dont look as good cuz the front is still higher and there is no rake:yack:...see what I mean...Shyne

lilboykorea

get ground control coilovers...just a bit more then cps...and u can adjust them to ur taste...

CKacura

Seems like everyone likes both brands. I think i'm going to isntall Comptech in the front and H&R in the rear. LOL..

SimTypeS

Hey, Shyne ,
I'm not sure who's car that is, and what springs he has, but with the stock wheels/tires on my TLS, the wheel gap doesn't look anything like that with H&R Sports, especially the front.
