Well as i title suggests, i want to drop the car but not by much. Stock springs have 250k on them already. Replacing shocks with Tokico Blues.

Would the Tein H.Tech with just a .6 inch drop be a noticeable upgrade style and performance wise? How much better would the S.Tech or Eibach Pros be?

Thanks!

 

Get some coilovers! That way, you can pick your ride height and spring rates

 

Don't bother, I had H-techs and it was a noticeable drop, but not nearly enough to be worthwhile performance and looks wise.

Get S-techs at least.

 

i had h-techs on my 4th gen, i liked them it dosent really "Lower" the car it more "levels" the car.

the front sits lower and wheel well gaps are very even, it looked good!

performance (with tokio shocks) was better then stock, nothing mind blowing but when you really got into a corner you could feel the suspension was more responsive!

best part, it rode like glass very smooth even in the shitty roads of Michigan!

i recommend H&R springs, there about the same price, lower the car a little more and give the suspension a more precise feel with a very good ride qualitdy! (this is what i have now)

 

Do you think I'd need a camber kit for this kit or another kit with just a 1.1" drop?

If so, front and rear or just front?

 

You won't need a camber kit even if you have a 2" drop, just get an allignment and zero out your toe. Toe is what kills tires, not camber (to an extent).

 

Actually, camber and toe both kill tires. My camber is off after my car was curbed and I have real bad one-edge wear.

Ya, all you would have to do is get an alignment and you'd be set

 

I have 5Zigen R-Rated springs and they drop 1.7" front and rear. My front camber is fine(I forget what the number was), but the rear is -0.11. Which my alignment sheet said was out of spec by .01. So based on how my alignment come out I wouldn't bother with a camber kit til at least 2" drop.

 

I've run H Techs before and it really wasn't all that great. I swapped to H&R Sports and I love them. Good news for you though, I have my H Techs sitting in the garage if you want them. I paid retail for them

 

I think I'm gonna go with the H.tech's because I don't want to scrape my front lip. I made a thread exactly like this asking the same questions and no one replied. Anyway, the S.techs are a lower drop than the Pro-kit's right? After they settle? it's about 1.5

these are the sport or race? and they have a stock feeling ride? (or close to it)

 

s-techs only drop about 1 inch. not enough IMO. but i've got a set for sale if you want some cheaper. PM me.
