Comptech Sport Springs Installed

Greetings:

Today I had Comptech install their Sport Springs, Rear Camber Adjusters and Adjustable Ball Joints (front wheels).

Just another great install by the Comptech Install Team.

The ride is much tighter.

Hope to see many of you this weekend at the Sac Meet.

Tim -

I think you have created a new "spec" version ............. c-spec. You've done some great things to your car. Do you know what kinda drop you got?

Hello:

It's about 1.5" all around. Next step is to upgrade the front brakes, new rims and then SC. Comptech told me today the SC for the 04AT should be ready by late summer.

I'll have to save my pennies..

I to am intrested in the SC. It's nice when we live close enough to the manufacturer. I figure that the SC will also go on the 05 unless otherwise corrected.

Hello:

I just measured from the ground through the middle of the wheel to the bottom of fender.

Front 26 1/8"
Rear 25"

I'm not sure what the original measurements where.

I will bring my tap measure Saturday to the Sac Meet.

Hello:

I went to the Concord Acura and made measurements.. Here are the results:

Front Original 27"
Front New 25 3/4"
Rear Original 27"
Rear New 25 1/2"


The cars were parked next to each other on the same surface. Same color cars!

Hello:

According to Comptech you need the camber adjusters and front adjustable ball joints if you install their springs>

k6biv, is that the old CT springs or the repackaged Eibachs? And if you don't mind me asking, what did the install cost? I plan on doing the same thing around April/May. Thanks much!

Hello:

I'm not sure whose spring they are. I was told that Comptech makes them. The total cost installed by Comptech was about $1,100.00.

This includes the real camber adjusters and new front adjustable ball joints.

Eibach makes the springs and Specialty Products makes the camber kit.

I don't like that middleman approach. If I have a problem with my SPC stuff I call SPC. If my springs have problems I call Eibach.

Comptech don't make much at all. They do some minor final machine work on some things, weld up some pipe, but for the most part they get parts already finished or they simply "middleman" the part.
