not sure... currently have S-techs on my xB.... they do fine... tho the freeway is a bit bumpy thru the seattle area... but i think if had upgraded the shocks too it wouldnt be that big of a deal...

just like any lowering springs... and big citys.. there some nasty transitions from roads to driveways/parking lots, and pot holes to watch for....

The roads around here aren't too bad I would say just have to be more careful driving around if you plan on going w/Stech. I dropped my old prelude about 2.5 in and the only time I did scrape was on driveways, speedbumps and very steep hills. I plan on putting Tanabe DF210 on my TC soon and it'll be a similar drop to the S-tech. Once installed I will avoid the hills downtown like the plague

I have the TRD springs and like them just fine. I don't have to worry to much about scraping.......
