Comptech seems to be a very good one, mike (type x) has comptechs on his FG2, 1" drop all the way around, says he likes the ride.. comfort yet stiffter than stock

i have Tein S-techs, 1.4" drop, to me, rides like stock yet lowers the car

there is also eibach, which i haven't read/seen to many reviews on

so. . .

Comptech
Tein
Eibach
Sprint
Progress

and also T1R has lowering springs on the way

Vogtland also will be getting some in shortly, probably in about 4 weeks. If anyone wants info PM me, and I'll tell you more. It will be about a 1.4" drop, and made from the same stuff the Nascar and IRL springs are made of...good STUFF!!

Do your research before you say stuff, and maybe do some research on the other brands of springs and where and how they're made, and warranties before you jump to any conclusions, Vogtland is a company that has been manufacturing springs for many many years, and we are mostly known in the European market with BMW's, AUdi's, VW's etc, so I thought since I was a member on honda-tech to spread the word that we have springs for all makes and models from acura to volvo ...
so if you would like more info you may PM me, or check out our website, it is under construction as of now, but it still gives some information

Thank you for your time

I've been on about 10 honda sites for the past 8+ years
compiled over 45,000 posts.. and never heard of that company....

I give my opinion based on past purchases ..
I've had Tokico, Tein springs, tein basics, tein SS, comptech etc etc


The products recommended have a proven high standing in the "honda" area

Comptech, Tein, Eibach etc etc

Maybe your brand is good with the Euro cars
but personally... I'll stick with brands I know, love & ... i've heard of


oh and i dont accept input from anyone that WORKS for or benefits from the purchasing of parts..

Of course you will tell me your product is superior since your making coin off it.

Hence your sig... your snippy comback paragraph reply AND mentioning the company as "we"

thank you for your input, yes I do work with Vogtland and yes I do believe in the product. Some of those brands that you "trust" Vogtland has actually made the springs for
The guy asked for an opinion and I gave him input whether you agree or not, well your entitled to your opinion.
Have a great day

Comptechs .... Nice ride, lowers it to a perfect height IMO and is a progressive spring unlike most of the rest.

if you are looking for a nice drop that won't break the bank get H-tech's from tein. They drop the car about .8" all around and are progressive so they handle great.

Tein s.tech lowering springs.
-1.4 front & -1.3 rear






I chose these springs because I wanted the front
lowered more than the rear, even if its just a little
bit, I like it. Definitely less body roll. I have better
handling. In my point of view, when I drive,
its not bouncy, it feels like stock to me. Although,
I need a camber kit because my wheels are a little
negative.
