tien springs vs comptech springs

Ok im definally gonna lower my car but i just cant decide between going with comptech or tien. I know comptech is known for having good quality when it comes to hondas and tien is a well known suspension company. I also plan on getting front and rear chamber kits when I lower my car. Any help will be appreciated thanks.

You must mean "camber" kits?


If you're going to do that, you may as well go with the Comptech's. Depending on which TEIN's you get you won't need to correct camber, but in either case, you'll need an alignment.

Wheel alignment is just a fancy term for what mechanics do to make the wheels parallel to one another (and in some cases if possible perpendicular to the road). In some cases, you'd need a camber kit for the perpendicular part.

The Comptech's are made by Eibach. Spoke to Comptech the other day about their springs. They send specs to Eibach and Eibach makes them.
