h-tech vs. s-tech
i have been shopping online for a pair of H techs. I want a significant drop without going to sprint for springs or getting wrapped up in 1000 for suspension. i was contemplating the s tecks with 18s and i think that would be fine. but i go with 19s, i wont sit as low as i would like to, but would have the bigger rim for the look.
basically my main concern is, when shopping, i have seen that the H techs are 1.9 in front and 1.5 in rear. then i saw a site claim that they are 1.1 in front and 0.9 in rear. thats a pretty big drop difference. i am assuming the measurement on the second site was before allowing time for them to settle. an advice? or is this second site retarded?
what have most of you gotten out of your H techs?!!!!??

i like my Htech's i have 19's with 225/35 they rub on gentle dips, but i like how they dont sag in the rear, they have a little rake, one thing to think of is if you have a passenger in the back the Stechs will rub pretty bad, the Htechs will still have some room to compress to compensate for the load.......

The s-techs are more aggressive but I admit that they look SOOO nice. I really havent seen a tc with h-techs on but im actually leaning more toward the h-techs. Only because Ive alrdy had my experience with lowered cars and harsh suspension and now I just want a nice relaxing ride. I'm aiming towards "Almost feels stock, but doesn't look stock."
i have h-techs .. and i can safely say i have a 2" drop in the front and a 1.7" drop in the back .. i may be shootin myself in the foot after i get the buddy club 2 kit installed .. cuz its droppin me another inch or so to the ground .. i also have 15" steelies w/ snow tires that are slightly smaller then stock .. im gonna have to brave it out until i put my 18s on .. ill be raisin myself up by an inch or so .. steelies w/ tires are 24.2" on 195/60-15s .. im goin up to 225/40-18s which are 25.1" .. so hopefully ill be sittin a little higher to compensate for the inch drop w/ the kit .. not to mention since the sidewalls on the 15s are squishy .. im sittin lower .. hah .. atleast w/ the 18s .. less sag on tire wall cuz theres alot less there ..
I just got my H-Techs installed yesterday. To tell you the truth, the drop doesn't look too drastic from the back. You really have to look hard to see if they are TRDs or infact H-Techs. But I guess they'll sag after a week or so for the springs to settle in more. Oh btw, I scraped the front fender going down a decline ramp. Nevertheless, I like the drop. I'll post pics later.
