Hey guys, hows y'all doing?

It's time for me to go from looking bone stock to having more of an aggressive look! So what should I do.

Should I go with H-techs and look luxury (as luxury as a scion could get lol) or go slammed with S-techs?

Just wanted to hear some feedback!

 

it depends on what your looking for. in my personal opinion if your not rubbing, your not low enough!

i like them low :-)

 

True. However, I'm thinking I may or may not go with larger rims, plus a body kit. So I'm trying to think in the future...

I'm thinking if I do, do these mods, I should go H-Techs to leave some room?

 

I went htechs.......still have stock rims but going to get 18x8 with 35 off set so clearance is gonna suck........also getting a body kit steals what little room that is there away pretty quick.........so if you are going bigger wider wheels you willneed to plan well........or rub and scrape......which can suck.......a lot....hechs get you pretty low..................i got 1.9 in the front on the drop and 1.7 in the back........it does not seem like a lot but it is.......add the 35 offset 18s and I will have less than 3/4 between my well and my tire........stechs you can not get a finger in.......but it looks really nice.

 

i have htechs with the RS1 front lip and let me tell you....i scrape often....luckily its under the car...

 

I had S techs on my old car and loved them.

By the way Erik and I get wicked good prices on Tein if you have him do the install.

 

mann bzinn1 i wish you took me in your car for a ride at the fort lewis show haha. im really debating on ride quality between the stechs and htechs. ive seen them on our cars, but never rode in one with em.

 

S-TECHS FTW!!!!

And again, you wont be "slammed" with them! Its not that much lower. I had S-techs on my tC with the Kaminari kit (when it was white) with 19x8's and NEVER RUBBED - EVER! (You can see pics of it with this set up on my MySpace page)

 

cynce you had to make a post...hahaha. just kidding i love the input. i know i might have asked this already, but hows the comfort level (bumpiness) or stiffness compared to the h-techs?

 

They're both going to be about the same. Tein makes awesome suspension regardless of the spring model. Still rode smooth as ever!

 

what does FTW mean? ive been on SL forever and still cant figure it out.

 

It means For The Win ;)

 

I am glad you asked I have been worndering the same thing



You have seen my car it is on Stech. I only scrap on realy carzy dips and bumps. and these springs have been aroud for a while. they were newtc4me's now mine
I love them.

 

FTW meens something else where I grew up.......

 

just remember urbandictionary.com is your best friend! I'm going to take a ride in my buddy's tC and see if I like his stechs, if not, ill get the htechs. Ill keep you guys updated! Thanks!
