I was looking through different brands of lowering springs. SO FAR. im interested in Tein S-techs. but does anyone know why H-techs are more expensive? i assume that itll give u a more comfortable ride? but why is it more expensive with less lowering? if possible does anyone have pics to show the difference? thnx guys

Oh my bad...lol, yes H Techs cost more cause that still somewhat give you a decent ride quality. My reasoning is more money for a better quality ride...lol. Hope that helps.

S-techs if you don't plan on getting a body kit. i have the Mpower front bumber and it sits almost 2" lower than stock. i just put the H-techs on on Sunday and it sits at about 3.8" from the ground without settling yet. with S-tech i would be around 3"

S-techs drop you lower and are cheaper because the ride quality is worst with them. you'll also need to replace your shocks and struts sooner if you get S-techs.

get H-Techs, i love mine. also, with S-Techs you will probably need to buy rear camber links too since they put your camber so far out of wack and you can't fix that without aftermarket camber links.

i kinda regret getting my S-techs...i wish i couldve gone with the h- techs cause after a while the s-techs tend to sag a little lower once they "break in"

dont get me wrong Tein makes good springs overall imo but ...id def get the h-techs

s-techs are for if you really want that super low look, but in reality, lowering the tC more than 2 inches actually hurts the handling. so just stick with h-techs, or hotchkis.

and low means scraping. seriously, i just have trd springs and struts, it is lower than people expect. and scraping and easing it over speed bumps and steep entrance/exits is just uber lame and time consuming.

Once I get my car cleaned up I will get some up if someone doesn't before me.
Love em so far. Best drop for stockies imo.

Car's dirty but what the hell. I changed some values so you can see the fender/wheel gap better...aaand these pics were taken 2 days after the install.

I have htechs, but I used to have hotchkis. H techs give you a smoother ride than hotchkis, but I like the hotchkis stance way better. Stechs are just too low...

sorry flip, i dont have any pics, but i do have some insight (i think) i cant compare the 2 springs, since ive never owned the h-techs, but i can say that i got the s-techs because i love to drive canyons. there are a few freeways i can no longer speed on because of the springs, but at at the speed limit, the rides not bad. i have a stock body, no lips or anything, but the s-techs tuck my stock wheels and the car looks amazing, it also handles amazing in the canyons. my s-techs are a temporay fix till i get coilovers, if u want a LOW car, get the s-techs... if u want comfort and a car that just looks a little diff from stock get the h-techs, just my 2 cents ^^ (btw the streets in my city are HORRIBLE, but the rides bearable and i only scrape on one REALLY steep driveway)

h techs for overall handling, clearance and ride quality.

s techs for looks, handling clearance and ride quality are worsened.

I dont car though, if I could sport s techs I would because they look good, but if you get s techs, get new struts too, because its pretty low. Plus, I dont like the idea of never entering the driveway or slowing down to 5 mph every dip and 2 mph for every speed bump.

I went H-techs for clearance cause I live in areas with horrible roads and my driveway is really steep too, so it was just more practical, plus if you roll on 18's the H-tech's fit perfect!

Tein isn't the only spring maker ya know, lots of other options.
