I'm picking up my TL-S next week and the first thing I want to do is get the Comptech springs to fill the wheel gap. I just wanted to know if the springs ruin the quality of the ride. If any of you guys with the Comptech springs on your TL could help me out I would appreciate it.

They don't ruin the quality of the ride, they tighten it up a bit... Go with sway bars also to further enhance the handling.. I have springs for almost 2 years, and the sways are waiting to be installed..

Springs AND Sways are the way to go. I drove a TL-S last week, and my '99 with Comptech springs and sways definately handles better.

I just had my comptech springs and sways put in last week. THe ride is smooth. It is slightly stiff when going over bumps....
Hanling is great...
If you don't want to void factory warranty have it installed at Acura dealer.
Park Ave acura is certified by comptech. You should check them out.

I don't want springs just yet, but I would like the sway bars and urethane bushings, how would feel on stock springs, how would it drive?
are they progressive rate? would i be better off with eibach or h&r?

It's funny that you guys mention Park Ave Acura cause that's where Im buying my TL-S. I saw the big sign they have there saying that they are comptech certified. I definitely recomend them... after I ordered my TL-S they let me take out their demo TL-S for a test drive on my own...that was awesome.
