Would you rather get the Comp or Comp+? Which would you choose between these or the Bilstein PSS B14. How close are they to stock suspension, was the ride comfortable?
Thanks in advance.

I would do these again over the Bilstein PSS. the PSS are very soft stock like rates. These are not even close to stock. These are loud, clunky, and stiff. I found the ride to be fine but being stiff wasn't an issue for me. I dailied the car with a Recaro seat for 3 years so ymmv. They were valved pretty well from the get go so while stiff, they are not bouncy or teeth rattling. I've had spring rates of 800/700 and 700/550 on them. They handled the lower rear rates better than the higher due to the valving. They felt under dampened for the 700# springs out back.

How are they on the road? I'm just looking to replace my worn stock and lower the ride while keeping as much quality as I can, trying to decide between these, Comp+ or Bilstein PSS. Got any pictures?
What do you mean by loud, as in, you hear them in the cabin? or you hear it rattle?
I have no experience with the Comps. Mine were the Comp+. Don't think Ive ever seen anyone with the base Comps. Finding someone whose used the comp+ is difficult enough. I think the difference if i remember right was softer valving, steal body vs the aluminum, and none spherical top hats.
