Thumbs up For Comptech Springs Owners

I am about to installed my Comptech Springs with Tokico Shocks on my FG2. I just need picture of FG2 with Comptech Springs installed. I don't want to have my car more lowered in the rear than in the front. Please let me know your feedback of this springs. Thanks you.

They should flow like eibach pro kits same spring as comptech. However you should try tokico d specs or Koni yellow for best performance. I went progress and tokico and wasnt happy with the results but then again the comptechs may change that. Im currently on Koni yellows with eibach pro kit and I love it. Check the how your car will look lowered thread and you will see the drop.

with Comptech Sport springs, the front will be lower than the rear without a doubt. are you going to be on 17s or 18s?

they have really great ride quality.. though they are a Stiff spring. But they are built more for performance than the soft 2 inch "show car" drop springs

I have used 2 sets of 18's in my life and ride quality compared to a 17 inch wheel has sucked...

Just throwing this out there... but did you possibly install the rear springs upside down>?

other than upside down i dont know what else it possibly could be unless something was stuck in between the coils tahts restricting them from gaining the full drop... which i doubt that
