Is their any other recommendation to a good height of a maximum of 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the back since I am having a difficult time finding Neuspeed sports on ebay for a reasonable price?

Does anyone know if the Comptech springs are any good? http://www.autocarparts.com/part/189/6

holy crap i have the same springs and i have the same problem. im about 2 seconds away from completely loosing my front bumper. i hate california and new jersey streets. seems like i cant drive for 5 minutes through some street without hearing the front end make contact with the ground.

Ride height is important to me because I don't want to lose my entire front end if I happen to hit something in the road. And I am not going to spend 3k on suspension for a daily driven car.

I have no idea. I guess they want to scrape every time they go over something and don't mind losing their front end to a speedbump. :thinking:

80 around a corner? Unless its a 90 degree corner streached out several miles, I'm calling b.s. on that.. :bs:
I'm on stock springs. I want to lower my car a bit because it looks way too high and stuff. I just don't have the money for them and most places on eBay charge 35-40 bucks for shipping.

I don't want coilovers. They are too stiff.

Not all... the TeinSS coilovers are about as stiff as your current setup, but allows you to run stock upper mounts (softer and quieter), adjust height, and adjust dampening...

H&R Sports sound perfect to me for what you're looking for. i know several people w/ them and have only heard good things about them.
