what is the diff. i want to lower my 96 civic just enough to clear my 15s with 195/50/15 falkins what other srings might be good im looking for a smooth ride and great handling performance.

 

Tein advertises the H-Tech to lower 1.3"F/1.1"R

and the S-Tech to be 1.9"/1.7"R

But from what I have seen, it is really around a 1.5" drop on the S-Techs.

They are both made for comfort and not really for crazy performance. Other than that, there is a difference in color.

 

S techs are supposeded to have a lower drop. H techs only provide a small drop. With s techs it gives you a certain stance. The front of your car will be lower than the rear.

Um, some people have seen opposite, the front is a little higher than the rear.

And no, they did not install their springs incorrectly either.

 

I put those spring on last Saturday so it's been a few days now and it still looks like the front is a little higher. The rear is close to a little tuck but the front has a noticeable gap. But as the ride I love it, not much difference from stock except a little more responsive than stock. No bounce at all.

 

any pics available??

 

bump for this thread cuz im thinking about buying tein's too...any pics would be appreciated.

 

Search guys, when I was thinking about these, I SEARCHED and found A LOT of pictures.

 

The drop isn't really noticeable, but I like it. I didn't cut the bump stops. I took some pics next to my sister's car so you guys could compare.

 

Good pics! I want those headlights and mirrors! haha

 

thx for the pictures
really appreciate it

i am a bit confused... so you bought the h-tech? or the s-tech? i have an integra and i am going to buy either springs. thanks~

 

i have H techs on my 94 prelude..the drop at first looked as if it was only .5in but aftre about 6 months it dropped enough to cover the wheel gap. Though it doesnt look slammed. If i could do it again id probably go for the S techs for the slammed look.

Performance wise.. it feels pretty much like OEM. not stiff at all.

from the pictures im guessing you went for the H TECHS too. give it some time and itll settle lower.

 

i went for the s. techs. but yeah...im pretty sure it'll settle lower. i took that picture the day after i slapped them on.

 

The reason why the front looks higher is because thats how the front wheel well is designed. The front wheel well has a higher curve than the rear. This design is more obvious in an integra. So if you have an integra I suggest you do not buy springs with equal drop.

 

The Teins are not an equal drop though...

Read my first post on here.

 

yeah my front sits higher than the rear for sure

 

You are right. but 0.2" is not that much.
