That's scary stuff. Imagine if the spring breaks while travelling 65mph on the freeway Comptech better replace all those springs or else it will be slapped with a huge lawsuit if someone gets seriously injured or killed.

Would comptech really be liable? I THOUGHT most of these companies, at least I know Tein does, expressly write for these only to be used off-road.

So if you were using it on the streets, they might not be liable.

The only thing comptech is good at is supercharing the NSX.

i wouldn't go as far as to blame eibach too, it could just be comptech.... besides eibach has been pretty good to me on their pro kit springs *knock on wood* i've had them for about 15k miles and no rust, no nothing, nice and black like always.... heck their eibach label is actually still there

i won't just go and blame eibach as well. yes they made the springs (might be, if i was right) for comptech, however you don't know what comptech did before shipping it to people. i remember seeing comptech sticker or whatever on the springs, so there must be still a lot to the story.

plus, there are a lot of people with eibach springs on their acura and no problem
