Does anyone know how much Comptech Springs are?? Install and all. If so does anyone know a local place in Brooklyn that does great work.. Preferred in Bay Ridge area

Are they worth it?? How's the ride any difference?

THE SPRINGS ARE VERY GOOD, THEY ARE PROBABLY THE CLOSEST TO THE STOCK RIDE, ALTHOUGH THEY ONLY GIVE YOU A 1.3" DROP MAYBE 1.5" WITH THE SETTLE.

THEY SHOULD RUN ABOUT $200-300 AND ANOTHER $200 FOR THE INSTALL.

Springs cost $296.96, but you have to buy them here and show your support for this site.

They don't hurt the ride much at all, the bumps are a little more noticable, but the overall ride feels better due to better handling. Oh, and the car looks MUCH better dropped!

I would recommend getting the sway bars and installing them at the same time, you'll save money by doing it at the same time and the handling is greatly improved. (but again, you gotta buy them here.

there is a great shop in brooklyn on the corner of neptune ave. and cropsey ave. called atlantic auto, they do great work and dont charge through the teeth... i did mine there for the TL, and i just had mine done for the TL-S at Park Ave. Acura in NJ and they also do great work, washed and vaccumed my car too =) but it cost me $75 more at acura, but that gets me a warranty without any question because they backup all the work they do with comptech materials...

I don't recommend this. I did mine this past weekend at my friends garage and without the lift and all the correct tools and know how you will definatley mess up your ride. I don't consider myself and expert, but by no means a newbie when it comes to mechanics, but i say get the professonally installed by someone. You have to break down the front springs to swap them with the comptechs and if done wrong it could be deadly...that spring can take off your head and land 4 blocks from your location Seriously...the install shoudl only cost you about 2 bills.

I will share a little info about the install. Th fronts are pretty easy to do, and the rears are even easier once they are out, but to do so you have to remove the rear seats to get to the bolts (u can remove the backdash, but its not necessary). Just my .02
