I was reading about the comptech springs and sway bar combo on acura-tl.com and im reading good reviews. good handling, and very little comfort is lost. Will this be better than just getting tein basic coiliovers?

 

How deep are your pockets? That should provide you with an answer.

 

not as deep as i want them to be...

 

Better forget about coilovers!

 

just save up for teh coilovers.... you won't regret it.

 

Sways are an amazing upgrade in handling. Be sure to use teflon tape where the bushings are to avoid squeaking. After installing springs + sways ... your car will feel totally different. I was absolutely shocked at how much less give there was around corners after putting them both on. But that was 4 years ago ... car feels OK now (guess I'm used to it and want more body stiffness).

If you don't have much to spend, then do the sways + springs. How old are your shocks? If they are factory originals ... you might want to save up on coilovers and install the sways yourself to save $$$. Labor is what jacks up the cost of mods. Buying the right tools from the start will pay itself in dividends.

 

i believe my car has about 42k on it. Are the shocks too old?

 

i have 95k on the stock shocks...i was going to go springs alone...but somebody recommended otherwise with the old shocks = bouncy ride. so i'ma wait for my next paycheck and get some tein basics along with new rims and tires 'cuase i'm showing the steel brade on 3 tires!!!
