Default tein tech springs

tein h-tech and s-tech spring owners, can u please post a picture of how much lower your car is, and/or where did you bought them from, and how was the process of putting them on?

the s is lower than h correct?
why is it that when i look at the price different the h tech is a bit more expensive?

debating on which one to get and i was gonna get some from geoff from nurspec
http://www.nurspec.com/ListProducts....wering-Springs

also do they void the warranty? i want a good looking lowered car but not so low that ill hit bumps, dips, and all that kind of stuff, ill be getting an hks hi power exhaust soon as well with them.

im new to this kind of stuff and wanting to learn as well, i just want feedback from people who have tein springs and how they like them and know what ill be dealing with for sure before making 100% sure that i will want and buy them.

and sorry if my thoughts are all over the place, and if there is anything else i need to know please do so, thank you and appreciate it in advance.

lol qft.

searching is your friend. but since you are new;


s-techs are lower 2.4 front 2.0 rear
h-techs are 1.9 front 1.5 rear.

I have h-techs and I regret not getting s-techs.

cost me about 200 for installation and I payed 150 for the springs. They did not void my warranty and I have a hks exhaust that scrapes occasionally.

also this will help, look at the stickys on this section

margie you should only get s-techs if you are looking for that "slammed" look. they are not for performance at all, the drop actually hurts your handling. if you do go with them i would suggest getting new struts/shocks....

just get the trd springs from the dealer, 250 installed and they look just as good as the s-techs, without giving up comfort in your ride.

Sorry I'm going to have to disagree with you. The trds look great and are well worth the money but the s-techs are way lower.

Ts best thing to do is look at all the photo threads here and see what drops you like the most

Hope this helps
