What springs?

I'm going to be putting on my 19's in a couple weeks as long as the weather gets warm enough that i know it won't snow. I'm most likely going with the comptech drop but I wanted to get some of your guys opinions. Whatcha think, Comptech, H&R OE, Sport...???

I prefer the drop of the comptechs, but the H&R OE provide a nice drop for half the price.

Why do the Comptechs drop more in the front then in the rear?
The reason I wanted to go with the comp is because the guy I bought my 19's from had them on his TL with no rubbing problems. I don't know anyone with Sports and 19's that I could ask about thier quality of ride.

yeah those are 5 Zigens. Too bad the design of the rim makes them look like 17's. That incident was a 6 inch pot hole that I didn't see. Didn't think they would crack like THAT though. S***. I had to buy a new tire too!

I heard people say that Comptechs are dropped more on the front and less on the rear to keep the car balanced when you have people in the back and things in the trunk. Oh well at least they're better than Eibachs that are dropped more on the back!

Actually, the Eibach drop is level. It's just the front wheel well that makes it look like the rear is dropped more. Still, I wouldn't want that look, but you have to admit the Eibachs are probably the best engineered.

yeah Eibachs are good. I had them on my old Civic and I loved them. They were leveled, but for some reason my cousin's ES300 was dropped more on the back.
