Default Need advice Berfore buying H.Techs...

I have just saved enough money for the H Techs, TRD shocks, and hotchkis camber kit but before i buy the Tein H. Techs, i am wondering if it is ok to use the H Techs with the TRD shocks because i havnt seen any reviews or anyone with this set up. I might be ordering the whole shocks, springs and camber kit tomorrow or some time next week. pls help me

well i got mine 155 off of ebay

i havent seen any better deal else where

i got them for a friend who decided to buy different springs and kinda screwed me so...

im on S.techs and gettin coilovers so h/tech springs would be useless for me.

i plan on selling them for how much i got them.
im willing to drive half way for delievery anywhere in socal

You DO NOT NEED a camber kit with the h-techs. Your car will align within spec with stock components. I run the h-techs, hotckis sways and greddy strut braces. Simply an awsome setup that rides near stock until you hit the corners, then the whole world changes as you know it

Here is a pic of my baby right after I dropped her and had her aligned. I did this about two months ago. Since then the car has settled and the rear is about 1/4" lower and the front is 1/2" lower! Looks AWSOME!

LOOKS SEXY!
can you do me a favor (if you can)? can you please take a picture of the front and rear gaps and put your fingers in so i can see how big the finger gap is? and also a pic of how far the bumper is from the ground.

^^^ thats what i was afriad of how it would turn out. right now i have my own pros and cons for the h techs and s techs.

For the H Techs:
Pros
-performance and comfort
-not too low, just right height

Cons
-might turn out too high

S Techs:
Pros
-Nice looking drop

Cons
-Afraid of scraping the ground or may be too low (thinking of getting an EVO2 in the future so i dont want it too low)
-Ride comfort

All my pros and cons are in my own opinion. it is what i just see from pictures.

Right now, im looking for performance, comfort and a good looking drop.

I had h tech's now riding on ss-p coilovers. I loved my h's just wanted something a little different. The h's were a little high in the rear but the front was spot on! I got a ton of compliments on the h techs for having a little bit of a rake to the car while keeping a luxury "expensive "look to them. If comfort is high on your list i would go with the h's. and i never scraped my muffler with the h's either.

yeah pretty much mine dropped a solid 2" in the front and 13/4 in the rear it is noticable but not crazy when you step back and look at the car it doesn't look that noticable...but when you are next to a stock tc it is like wow big improvement .
