Tein > Comptech?

Ok, I've been searching through the forums trying to find which suspension to go with. I'd like to order it today perhaps tomorrow depending on how fast the replies come in.

It seems most people are getting various Tein setups over Comptech, I'm curious as to why.

If I'm looking for a close to stock feel and about a 1" drop and I do go Tein, which Tein / shock setup should I go with?

(I'm afraid of coilovers after getting a set a long time ago and them being ridiculously harsh unless I slammed the car...but they were Apex-R something or others...can someone alleviate my concerns if coilovers are a recommendation?)

Where is the best place to get Tein or any other recommendations? (If I go Comptech, I'm just going to have the dealer do it.)

Check with the vendors in the Sponsored Sales & Group Buys Forum (Excelerate and MrHeeltoe). The CT springs are supposed to give you about a 1" drop, Tien S Tech will drop a little more than 1" and Tein H Tech about 1" (maybe less).

Well if you are looking for 1" drop with a stock ride, but slightly firmer, go with Comptech lowering springs. If you are looking for an adjustable setup (ride height and/or dampening adjustment) go with the TEIN Basics or Super Streets. How many miles on the shocks?

So then there aren't a lot of miles on the car. Typically shocks will last 50-75k+ depending on road conditions, driving habits, etc So with that little mileage if you are just looking for a 1" drop go with the Comptech springs.

PM me if you need a s et.
