Ground Control, baby. $690 is way too pricey for adjustable springs.

It should only void the warranty on the suspension.

I have the Comptech adjustables. I have put about 6000 miles on them and its been fine so far. The only thing is I messed with them a lot a first to get the perfect height I wanted and I stripped the allen key bolts that secure the adjustable part to the threaded part. Those allen blots also rusted after a while, so now when I want to adjust them, I have to force them to turn. Its probably stripping the threads a little, but I havent had a problem with the height slipping down or anything. It also does not come with an adjustment tool so use what ever I can find to turn them.

Besides that the ride comfort is fine, feels a little bumpier at lower heights.

I haven't seen the ground control ones but I would think twice about getting the Comptechs.

thanks for the info. but if i got ground control(or any other brand), and say like something broke on the suspension (but not the shocks themselves), does that mean that i would have to pay cash for that and its not under warrenty??

Gerby is right but I had an exception. I had a bad front strut at about 2500 miles. This was before my coilovers. After a little hassle Honda covered it under warrenty. I drove with the mechanic in the car and he tried to tell me the noise was normal. I had older Hondas before so I know what a bad strut sounds like.

Go with the Comptech adjustable springs. I think they are well worth $600.
How much are the GCs?
