1. comptech
2. 17 (stock) - soon to be 18 (later today)
3. mixture of city and highway - some parts of NJ are worse than others
4. used to scrape my steep driveway - all the scraping filed my air dam to clear it

overall, i really like the comptechs. do a search of my review(s).

1. Comptech
2. 19" Volks
3. I'm in Los Angeles and face all of these conditions on a daily basis with no rubbing
4. Scrape on steep driveways, but I only scrape that little piece of plastic that is hanging down from the front bumper

I like my Comptechs also, but I would go with Tein coilovers if I was gonna spend the dough....if you don't want to deal with a $600-900 suspension, the Comptechs should be your first choice.

I think you may have PM'd me on this before, but if not, let me know if I can be any help getting you Teins

1. A-Spec
2. 18"
3. A little bit of everything
4. Never other than the little plastic valance underneath in parking spots if I pull in too far. That was also true before the A-Spec suspension was installed.

1. A-Spec Suspsension
2. Stock 17's.
3. Bumpy/Urban/Metro
4. I have scraped when entering driveways too fast, or running over small animals.

The scraping is not an issue, once you learn how to compensate for your car being slightly lower (w/ the A-Spec suspension of course).
