Default Htechs or PROKITS!

i know its a common question but does anyone have any opinions? ill be running on a new set of KYB shocks..
im looking for a slight drop yet hard/controlled ride.

also i heard that some PROKITS tend to be lower in the rear of the car? so i might be leaning towards the Htechs..

Never had the prokits, but have used H-Techs on GR-2s. Slight drop, slightly better handling, same comfort. Felt more like an OEM replacement if anything.

prokit are lower in front, only way it would be lower in rear is if they were installed wrong. both are good. just get whatevers is afforable for you. beware of fake teins on ebay though.

They have an F or R stamped on them. Anyway, I wish I wasn't asleep for this thread. Not only do I have a set of H Techs for sale, but tirerack.com has H&R Sport (basically the same as the Prokit) for $128

crap i was a day late.. i already ordered mine..the guy tried to rip me off for 200 bucks even though he said 175 over the phone. i ended up paying 185 -_-

another local place had PROKITS for 200 but ive heard the prokits seem to sag in the rear and the front ends up looking higher than the rear.

pro kits do not sag. even if they do you have a lifetime warranty against saggin with all eibach products. ive been riding on my koni/porkit setup for 16 months still sitting pretty and ripping the twistys

You've already ordered, but H-techs are basically a stock replacement that lowers the car a little. If you had Konis (which you don't), you could probably just use the lower perch and get the same effect.
