Default Comptech Springs?? why are they so cheap??

I was wondering about these. They seem really cheap for a 1.25 - 1.30 inch drop which i need badly.
In alot of site, i see these go for under $200 shipped, which is less than what most places want for Eibach Pro kits and Sportlines.

I know you get what you pay for and my opinion is that Comptech was a reputable company with quality products.

how much of a drop do you have? i wanna do a lower my car a lill, but i don't want it to be to the point where i will need a camber kit. maybe a 1.75 drop at the most. i'm looking to be at about 1.5 lower than stock height. maybe even 1" lower than stock.

Eibach or H&R make the best springs! Either one of those companies make the best springs. I dont know much about Comptech springs, but all i have read about or really geard about is Eibach or H&R.

I have sportlines and i love the drop i never bottom out and have minimal tire wear. I got mine for $155.00 shipped about a year ago. A good setup also is the traditional prokit/koni combo.

Don't sacrifice your handling and tire wear. Get a camber kit. IMO, a camber kit will benefit anyone that drops over about an inch. With the sportlines a camber kit is highly recommended.

PS- Eibach and H&R do have exceptional springs, but Comptech is an extremely high quality spring as well... Check out the spring rates and see which better suites your needs.

actually 1.5 and lower a camber kit is recomended. 2.0 and lower its a must unless you get free tires, but you dont want to lower your car that much anyhow. The prokit doesnt need a camber kit and it's a 1.3-1.5 drop(i forget)

Dam, where are you guys from? Here around my place, most shops sell the Eibach Prokit, Sportline, H&R, Neuspeed all for around $200 installed.

The group buy center right now has a special for Neuspeed springs. $129+like $15shipping I think. Check it out.
