bloo_tls02, in your honest opinion, is the ride annoyingly harsher than stock springs?

I'm running stock size Sumitomo HTR's. Much better than the stock Miche (and at a fratcion of the price).

The ride is alot stiffer, but doesnt feel like you are slammd to the floor. You defin. feel the bumps a bit more, but love the way the car handles and grips the road now.

Does anyone have a photo like the above with Comptech & OEM that looks this good? Man, I do not want to have to get a camber kit, but the H&R drop seems perfect in these photos!

Type S Lady - I will post pics this weekend. I have a ABP with a Comptech drop with the OEM kit riding on stock wheels. I just want to shine her up before I take pics....

If you want to see a pic go the the Meet forum and check out page 3 of the short hills mall GTG.

I wouldnt go to the dealer for that. They will just rip you off on the price of the kit and install. Get the kit from

honda
acura
world
.
com

It's prob the cheapest around and either install it yourself or have a trusted mechanic/body shop do it for you. Got mine installed for $100.

Had H&R on my RSX-s and the back got slammed too! H&R for rear wheel drive only!

But.... it's still SWEET looking! :wow:

pics of a Comptech drop + OEM kit

Hey Type S lady,

I got pics in my gallery ... check 'em out.
Comptech all the way (not to say any other
company is worse)

- derrick

PS Install the kit yourself ... just be sure
to have a jack + jack stands and you're
good to go. (10 mm wrench important!)
