right now im currently riding on h-techs and stock struts, ive got close to 28k on my car and i want to change out the struts within the next 10k... so im prolly going to go a little lower bc i like the look. what struts do you guys recommend going with the more aggressive drop? ive been reading the past 2 days and havent quiet answered my question yet. also, do i need a camber kit with the s-techs? if so im prolly just going to go with hotchkis, but ive been hearing some people complain the rears sit lower and im going to have 2 jl 10w7s in my hatch so i might stick with the teins, either h or s. someone gimme some opinions please, or lead me in the right direction :bow: btw ill be on 17x7 drifz 505gm +40 offset on 215/45

either trd, tokico or koni yellow.

and i don't really like s-techs, they actually negatively affect handling, and generally for drops over 2 inches you need camber adjustment.

tokicos are the cheapest, konis have adjustable dampers, but they don't just pop in like the trd or the tokicos.

you need to mod you front shock body for the koni to fit inside. but at this point, why don't you go with coilovers since koni yellows and springs will be like 600. spend the extra 200 to get coilovers
