Different Springs?
I hate how low my car is with my Neuspeed Race springs, so I am thinking of good alternatives to raise it back up a little bit. My splashguard is completely ripped to shit because of the crappy OC roads and all the steep driveways. I just helped my buddy put on some Neuspeed sport springs and the height is perfect. 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

teg92 has a pair of neuspeeds sport springs and he'd probably trade you...they are brand new no more than 1 month on his car...he wants his car lower...to me his car is at a perfect height with these and the car feels really nice when you drive it...i have coilovers and am thinking of going over to the springs. Just PM him and ask him if you'd like

I purchased my Neuspeed sport springs from Import Auto Performance , their prices are pretty competitive. Also, I think they might be a vendor here on HAN under the user name peteriap so maybe you can hit them up on a discount. Autocarparts.com is a good website, I purchased quite a bit off them.
I'm sure the Comptech springs are great but ask yourself if a 1.25' drop is going to be enough. The Comptech springs also are the only springs I know of that have both linear and progressive rates. That would make a great compromise between daily driving and autocrossing.

Yeah, the only reason I ask about the Neuspeed is because it seems like they are the cheapest and they will drop me just where I want to be. I got my Neuspeed Race springs off ebay for $115 brand new and it seems like every other brand is around $150 to $200 for an identical drop. I don't care much about spring rate as long as they are close to the race springs because I love the ride but I hate scraping on everything.
Comptech makes good shit but I didn't even know they made springs until last night, so I wanted to see how they were in stiffness since the ride height of a 1.25" drop isn't bad for the crappy OC roads.
I also don't care about wheel gap since my car has a pair of fat fives on it and I am going for a sleeper look, so as long as body roll isn't compromised too much, I won't mind.

you dont care about spring rate as long as they are close to race springs because you love the height? Then you want to see how comptechs are in stiffness? I'm sorry, I don't really understand what you're looking for. =\
but anyway, which shocks are you currently using right now?
Well here are some stuff I got from Team-Integra..

I appreciate the info.
Let me clarify: I love the stiffness of the Neuspeed Race springs but I hate how low they are. So I want a comparable stiffness with about a 1.5" drop maximum.
Sorry, I had a brain fart in my last post but I fixed it.
