Comp springs on standard dampers?

Anyone do this for a slightly lower height?

I'm sure there are members here who have done it. Just be expecting a slightly stiffer ride with the CP springs.

On a side note, I just switched out my H&R springs with the Eibach Prokit springs and I get way more front ground clearance now. Ride is slightly improved also. I just noticed on your previous thread that you had a set of Eibachs that you haven't installed yet.

Thanks. I am worried about warranty and eibachs so I was thinking oem comp springs would get around that.

I was thinking about just getting the CP springs but then the CP has different dampers and anti roll bars etc..so are you just causing an imbalance for the sake of 10mm.

I would go the Dinan route if you're concerned about warranty.
