Do you know of anywhere to get the Comptech springs?

I'm trying to buy the comptech springs since I just want a subtle drop, and instead of paying $200+ for the eibach pro kit, I can get these which are more or less the same for around $130... but the only vendor I know of who had them (excelerate) is all out of them. Anyone know who else has them?

I'm check for you, give me a sec. Are you comfortable only spending $130 for something that you and your car are gonig to be riding on? I don't know much about these springs your talking about, but its definitely not a good idea to try to save money on something as crucial as springs.

I agree. However, comptech is for sure in the tops of the list for most trusted companies. And not only that, but these springs are made by Eibach and backed by comptech. Can't get any sweeter than that

I was ready to buy some Eibach pro kit springs that were for sale at a good price yesterday but then I decided "why not just get these" since they're practically the same drop and made by the same company, yet almost $100 cheaper. Thanks for checking

Try E bay. I know that some Acura D ships still have comptech stuff.

Not sure for the drop of the comptech springs for sedans though. Remember, the prokits drop for sedan is different from the coupe so if the comptech one is the same, you might end up with a higher front and lower rear. I'm not 100% on this one. Maybe its just the way the suspension is set up for the coupe and sedan cause eibach has the same part number for both coupe and sedan prokit.

Welp I found them and got a set just in time, I guess they're all gone now cuz someone felt the need to buy more than 1 set so he could resell later...

Color? I'm not sure, I think they're gray. Drop is like 1"-1.2", perfect for me.

Just my opinion.. I had the chance to buy all 5 when I got it and passed (knowing I could resell for more later) since I knew these were wanted and left them to be purchased. You're the guy who went around when all the PS3s came out and bought as many as you could to resell on ebay, when parents were struggling to find some for their children for the holidays. Nothing wrong with that, just not the kind of person I would wanna be.
