Ok, I've done some research about the drops of H-Tech springs. From which I've learned is 1.9" front and 1.5" rear. But my real question is the ride quality. I have lower back problems but I can't stand the gap my car has right now.

Can someone give me a straight up answer on how is the quality of the ride? From what I'm seeing on Google, they say it's quality is better than stock. I figured when you go lower you will feel more of the road plus the bumps. Performance is not an issue, mainly comfort while getting rid of wheel gap. Has anyone noticed any increase in road noise?

This will be my first time lowering a car (ever, but I have friends to help me out) if I go through with this.

 

I would suggest the TRD Springs for you.

 

My buddy told me they are similar to TRD springs. Did you owned a set of TRD springs or currently have one? What were your thoughts about it?

 

I have TRD springs and bad tein coils before and tein S Techs they are all great IMO probably be better off with TRD due to dealers doing the install for you

 

i own the H-techs. they are softer than my stock 8th gen civic, by a long shot. wheel gap with TRD will still be alot, i think H-tech rear gap is also too much.

 

I'm out of warranty and all that (sorry I absolutely have no idea what I'm talking about) does that matter? I also want to learn how to do springs myself and my buddy is willing to help me out since he's been modding cars since the import scene back in like some early 90's when having headers mean you're a serious racer lol. I appreciate the input though and will keep it in mind.

Thanks for the pics that's a great reference on how low I'll be going. Is that when (from what I researched of springs in general) the springs are all settled? What rims are those by the way? They look like the black TRD rims.

 

In my first gen TC I have tein, in my second gen daily driver I have TRD because they're the most comfortable that I've found.

 

TRD is they way to go. It's a factory option.
