Right now my car needs one. to get my car straight i have to turn it to the left a little not that bad and ive had my car for 2 years now. just cant wait to get my tokico hp's and install them wit my h. tech.

 

i got a quote from a shop close to my work for the tokico hp for $380.00 thats not bad since most places sell them for $450.00.

 

thats a pretty good price being local to you. you should just pick those up and not have to worry about shipping and a chance of your shocks getting damaged and what not. when i got my package there was slits on the sides of three boxes because the shocks seemed to be too big for the box? anyways i didnt have any damage besides alil scratch on one so its cool

 

I just ordered a set of tein h techs but cant decide between trd struts or the tokico ones..
is there a big difference, and which one would ride smoother?

 

I bought my h-techs for around 210 shipped brand shipped,

Installation took around 5 hours first time but having a buddy would help alot.
Car rides good now alot better then stock obviously , the drop is a nice and safe drop its not slammed just as someone stated here its a little more then half the gap when you are on stock springs. Ive had them for 4 months now and no problem i didnt even do an alignment , the car is fine no worn out wheels or nothing , its really not recommended to get an alignment, but if your paranoid you should lol

 

like i said before the tokicos ride real smooth with the h techs, and yea you do need an alignment because when i got them installed my wheels were like / \. The only thing thats not needed is a camber kit because the alignment should do the trick.

 

^ yeah its always safe to get an alighment i hear you

 

Yeah i would assume just cant wait to get them. But check this out my car is dropped and it only took my mom, sister inlaw, girlfriend, and my dad to get it dropped haha.

 

looks good man. just watch out for those lil dips in the highway cuz ive been rubbing that plastic stuff in the wheel well and already have a little dime sized hole in each side in the front.

 

I've had the H-techs for about 6 months now.

 

bump. i wonder whats the best springs out there 4 ride quality tho

 

That looks nice "b-real45"
and the wheels look nice too

 

are these springs stiff at all? i dont want my car bouncing all over the place and having my tires rub when i have a few people riding in it.

 

it's stiffer than the stock spring, but not really a issue. I had s-tech and my tires never rub when extra people in my car.

 

on the tein website it says that the h.techs are made to be used on OEM struts. can anyone prove otherwise?

 

anyone?

 

^^maybe...but i would think that it would still lower the life of the stock strut

 

^ only if you bottom out a lot i think...but if youre with H-techs it should be ok since its not a huge drop from stock height and the rates are higher.
