here is my 08.......finally got the springs on.......has not settled yet but sure looks a lot better.

 

trust me, once it settles...it looks a lot lower! good choice on springs

 

I hope u like body roll -- Htechs are notorious for it

 

That's what sway bars are for.

Looks good though!

 

riight...ive never heard of such a thing

 

huh?

 

looks good so far ..post sum more pics after it settles

 

i agree looks styling right now heh

 

lol....its gonna go lower than that..i promise you

 

I will have to post a few pictures of it now..........all I can say is it settled......I can stick a fat finger at best between the tire and the well at the front, and the back..........two fingers in..............it is a much nicer look now.........next step.......18x8s and some sticky shoes......once the tires are pushed out a bit on 40 offset it will look even better..........car drives very well now too......almost no roll on hard corners.......

 

How would lowering your car increase chances for body roll? This doesnt make sense to me.

 

From what everyone has said htechs tend to have a fair amount of roll to them in hard cornering.........I am not seeing it though..........rides smooth and flat...........butthey are still new and maybe in time they will get a bit softer or something.......

 

i have h-techs with 18x8s and my car rides perfectly fine. less body roll than with stock springs.

 

H-techs FTW!

 

of course...lowering doesnt INCREASE body rolll.....but it DECREASES body roll

 

that is what I figured also.......I did the highway 199 through the mountains to the ocean and it never even leaned and I was hitting the corners pretty hard......and they are sharp nasty corners on that road.........

 

It's not the ride height that affects body roll, it's the spring rate. The H-tech's have higher spring rates (i.e. stiffer) than the stockers so you will have less body roll than stock.

The H-tech's spring rates are mild (almost identical to TRD's) compared to most other springs & coilovers, and so corner carvers will choose stiffer S-tech's or coilovers for even less body roll. The downside to that is a harsher ride.

IMO the H-tech is the best compromise between stiffness, ride quality, and the look of the drop. But to each their own.

 

is there any problems with the s-techs?
