i dont think that only 1 person changed shocks and they said it made the ride too ruff, and to adjust the rear shocks the back seat must come out,

i have the comptech springs and have the stock shocks and its no problem for me. i've been in dropped cars before on stock shocks (non-CLs) and the ride is just screaming for a hemmerhoid. the CL stays comfortable regardless. if you want more insight as to what changing the shocks would feel like ask astroboy.

The ride on stock shocks is fine. I doubt the shocks will last as long but the handling with springs AND sways is way better. Mike B from comptech (of course his opinion might be a bit biased) has posted both on the old board and on Comptech's site that the springs are 15% stiffer than stock. I've had them now for almost two weeks and I don't even remember what the stock ride was like except that the car rolled way to much.

The drop is very noticeable (say about 1.5" front) but it makes the car's look way more aggressive and better. As somebody said it resembles a tough looking Legend somewhat. As for now the best thing I've done to make my ride handle a bazillion times better.
