Default Tein H.Tech or S.Tech??

Looking for inputs about the H.Tech compared to the S.Tech by Tein...this is just for a daily hatch . I like how the H.Techs feel on a friends Lexus IS300 so i want that comfort...but are they as low as the S.Techs? Thats my question thanks!

The Tein S. tech would be more of a drop 1.5 inches.

The Tein H. tech would be 1.2 inches.

If you barely want to drop your car and make it feel OEM then get those piece of **** springs...

But the H-techs dont go as low.


If you want some more ***** springs, Gold line makes some really nice springs. Its a slightly lower drop, and same ride comfort.

Make sure you use aftermarket shocks also because your oem shocks can't handle lowering springs and will blow sooner or later.

OEM shocks are fine for Tein S/H-tech springs unless theyre blown. Its not an aggressive drop and they are really soft.

Tons of people are running S-Techs on OEM shocks with no problems.

Thats the link for the Gold-lines.

They are pretty cheap too, I believe cheaper than S-Techs. Gold Lines can also be used with OEM shocks. My girlfriend is running them on KYB GS-2 shocks ATM, but they were fine on her OEM's.

Please dont get the H-techs, it will be a waste of money since itll be a slight drop. I dont even think S-techs hit the full 1.5".


Trust me, my chick takes dips without slowing down and she rarely scrapes.

I like H&R race springs its 2 inch drop I believe, I could be wrong.

I had it on my crx years ago.

But if I could do it all over again I would save up my money for Ground control coilovers/Koni yellow shock. Killer combo

It's just worth it in the end.

H&R's go pretty low for being springs and theyre also pretty stiff. I wouldnt mind having a set.

Do you want a low aggressive drop or a drop a little bit just for the sleeper look?

I have Eibach pro-kit on my crx right now with kyb shocks they ride pretty good, I guess I just like the sleeper drop not too low.

It drops 1.2 inch in the front and 1.0 in the rear.

They also have Eibach Sportline springs which drops 1.7 inch in the front and 1.5 inch on the rear.

I really dont think shell appreciate stiff springs dude. She might be pretty pissed and we dont want that haha.

Get some S-Techs or Gold Lines. You wont regret it.

I have KYB GR-2 shocks it came with the Eibach springs for $80 bucks , can't beat it.

And I am poor so my car doesn't have the top of the line parts lol.

I like the Eibach spring because it drops 1.2 in the front and 1.0 in the back so it looks like a sleeper and ride pretty decent.(good for daily driving)

When it blows imma swap in Koni yellow shocks

Its not for everybody because alot of people like to ride slam.
