Whoever is wondering how the drop looks with Comptech springs, here you go.





Ride quality is not sacrificed at all. I didn't notice any difference in bumps. Neither did my fiancee.

Camber is slightly more noticeable and with the sways, the car is riding on rails now. I love it.

Wow looks good, think it still needs to go down just another 1/4 - 1/2 inch.

Don't do this type of post, you'll just make me spend money I don't have...

Very nice! I don't know how, but the springs and sways even make your paint color look deeper, and your car look cleaner! Although your car would look a lot nicer if you'd get off your ass and buy those Altstadt I's!

Don't forget to mention that your springs were already settled in and that if someone gets a brand new set installed, it may take a little time for it to get that low. It may be about 1/2 inch higher (give or take) for the first few months.

Looks cool by the way. MUCH better than when I saw it last.

I'll probably see you in NJ on Saturday if the torrential downpoars they predicted hold off.

Look at the side view mirrors...My car's on the left, Mafioso's on the right before the Spring install...My ca'r lower than his even though he has the body kit!


Now this is after the drop...Although my car is still a little lower (gap-wise), his car overall is now lower because of the bodykit...

Actually, E-Dub, I installed them this week.

Jason means that they are already settled because I bought them used.

SCTL, I am waiting to see what Tim can do in terms of the Altstadts, so I guess I have kind of gotten off my ass.

I'll have nothing to look forward too if I get them too fast, right?

Adam, Ed great comparisons.
Just got my Comptechs installed and the car looks awesome!
For some reason though the drop in the front of mine looks lower than adams pic. Maybe its just the angle of the pic.

Ed,
How many days seperate the two pictures? That Audi in the background seems to be in the exact same position in both pictures. Does it ever move?

adamyankee,
It looks like the front does not lower as much as the rear???

adamyankee

Actually it does, but since I took the front shots at angle and the rear straight on, it seems that way. However I really don't notice any rake though.

My friend and I noticed that my right side seems higher than my left side... I guess I'll get everyone's opinion tomorrow. Seems strange though...

Damn, I REALLY need a good wash before the meet tomorrow. Hope the weather holds up.

Maybe they put the passenger springs on the driver side. I mean it IS such a hard, laborous job that takes all day, right?
