I'm trying to find the best lowering springs for my car. I have 18s on it now and trying to get rid of the gap, but avoid rubbing. Right now I'm looking at the Tein springs, but its hard to pick between the H tech and S tech.

 

H techs. 08_scion_tc has them with his 18's and there isn't much gap and no rubbing.
I also have the same springs but on stockies. And I love the ride.

IMO s techs are for people that want to be tucked.

 

about how much of a drop did you get with them?

 

I think 1.5 or 1.7

I like them because it's alittle more aggresive than the trd. But no hammered low. And our roads around here are about a 5 from a 1-10. And I dont scrap the bumper at all.
And since you have 18's. I think with tires it's only 1/2" difference.

 

h-techs have a 1.9 front and 1.5 rear as s-techs are 2.4 front and 2.0 rear. honestly s-techs look good because they tuck your wheels more but i think like the h-tech more because they ride and handle better, plus they won't wear out your shocks as much as s-techs. i had s-techs on mine and my gf has h-techs on her tc...i'll look for the pics and post them up.

 

if you could post some pictures it would help out big time

 

here's my gf's tc on h-techs with 18x8 rims and 225/40/18 tires.


and here's mine with the same wheels.


hope this answers your question between both springs.

 

I got the same problem deciding what springs I should get for my new wheels(18s), any other options?

 

i'd say H-techs also. i have them. i didnt want to slam cause of the roads around my area and i didnt want to lose ride comfort as well. plus with 18's the gap is going to very little and looks really good. im rolling on stockies and i like it a lot.

 

Hotchkis!

 

im stuck between Hotchkis and H tech

can anyone help me decide?

 

h techs. i have 18s on in the summer...no rubbing except on gnarly bumps...barely any gap...

 

I had H&Rs with my 18s before i got coilovers


I still have them in my attic if you wanna buy them.

 

I have the s-techs and love them. I have a finger gap all around with 18s. IMO they're not too low but i also have friends that have their cars slammed.

 

coilovers...

 

could you send me a picture?

 

Here's a pic of my car with the s-techs

 

18s on s techs


here r the stockies on s tech

 

Go with H-techs

 

why go with h techs?
