Hey im new here and have a scion tc RS 3...i want to drop it with just springs, io dont wanna get struts or anything.... does anybody know if the megan racing springs are good, or should i just go with the Tein Htechs.

Thanks in advance!
and if u have pics of either, please post!

 

Megan is a cheaper brand. I would avoid it. The new s-techs might be the drop you are looking for. They don't go as low as the old ones and atleast a ton of people have used them with success. Or look into progress too. No matter what springs you get, the stock struts will blow prematurely. Safest route is most likely TRD, but that's not much of a drop.

 

thanks alot...another question. The lower the drop, the quicker ur struts will blow? or does drop hieght have nothing to do with it??

 

If you are running on s-techs with stock struts then yes they will blow over time. If you want to run s-techs, you can use the trd or the tokico struts. I would get aftermarket struts if you are going to go with lowering springs since you are going to swap the springs already, might as well change the struts while you are at it.

What kind of drop are you looking for?

 

It's fully dependent on the ride height the longevity of the shocks. It's been said before, the lower the height the less life they'll have. I think if they lower more than TRD and Tein H-tech upgraded shocks are recommended, most def for Tein S-tech.

 

well, i was looking for somthin 1.5''-2''.........im now lookin at some B&G s2's......any good?
the drop is sayd to be about 1.75"

Sound like the h-techs would be the springs you want. 1.75 is still some what aggressive but keep in mind that the OEM struts can ware out anything beyond 1.25 of a drop. I completely agree with dropzone, the lower the drop the less life the OEM struts will have. Ever though about getting coilovers? Some can be pricey but in the long run, it's well worth it.
