Comptech Parts Question - 2004 TL

So today I received my Comptech Rear Sway Bar, Polyurethane bushings, and my Comptech Sport Springs.

The sway bar is powdercoated Gray.
The lowering Springs are also gray.

Question: I thought I read somewhere in the forum that the Gray colored Springs develop rust over time, and that comptech had changed the finish, and started making the springs in Black color. Is this true?
Did i get a set of the old springs?

Let me know.
I'll send the bitches right back for black ones if thats the case.

I don't know about the springs but when did you order your Swaybar? How long did it take them to get it to you.... (I had thought they were backordered)

You could always pick up an H&R sway bar if the Comtech is on back order.

Part Number 71104.

I got the swaybar & the Comptech springs from the group deal section. 'Exellerate' is the person to contact regarding all the stuff you need. I also gor the polyurethane bushings from summitracing.com I got the black non-greasble ones.

Now getting back to my original springs question. Does anyone know if comptech upgraded the finish of the springs from gray, to black?

Have you tried calling Comptech? Don't mention what you have or even that you ordered, just ask them the question. They know better than anyone else.

I see so many people on this website spending $5,000 on a super charger, $5,000 wheels and tires and $1,000 on an exhaust that gives you roughly a 7HP gain and everyone is complaining about an extra $80 for a sway bar. Talk about GHEY!

I don't think it's so much that it's an extra $80 but rather what do you get for the extra $80 and whether or not it's worth it...

H&R Sway Bars are crafted from a special 50CrV4 spring steel that is both stronger and more resilient than competitive sway bars. H&R Sway Bars are bent on proprietary machines designed by H&R that seamlessly produce beautiful complex curves making H&R Sway Bars a perfect fit for your vehicle.

All H&R Sway Bar kits have been shot peened and heat treated, and feature precision forged ends - many applications have multiple end link mounting points for adjustability. Also included are H&R exclusive bushings made from a Urethane / Teflon composite that eliminates squeaks, and don't require lubrication. Ever. That means no mess, no maintenance-just bolt in H&R Sway Bars and go!

Like all H&R components, H&R Sway Bars are 100% made in Germany, and are powder coated for long lasting good looks and durability on the street and track.

Actually, they're not even in production yet.

They're "vaporware" at this point.

Got my Comptech RSB off of Ebay and had it delivered with no delay. I have not heard of any backorder either.
