Pics of a car on cut springs are completely worthless. It would depend on how much was cut.

Why can't you just wait until you get coilovers? I will never understand how people can cheap out for a supposed "temporary" solution that most likely costs money that could be used to get you what you want sooner.

Oh and cutting springs isn't just ghetto, it's completely ____ing stupid.

See pics posted all in this thread, that's how the car will look if you cut the springs, just like any other lowered car. As far as ride quality, garbage. You'll be replacing shocks faster than Texas weather changes.

Just save your money and get the new springs. Cutting your stocks are not only a bad idea but its unsafe as well. After cutting your stockies you will have an unbelievably bouncy ride and it will be at least a month before the springs actually stiffen up and settle lower than what your car was already sitting at. Just save and get the springs so youll still have the stock ones incase something happens to your aftermarket ones.

Cant decide on Tein H-Techs or Hotchkis. Dont want to go with S-Techs bc that'll be too low especially for my girlfriends driveway. Decisions decisions..

Whats the drop on each brand? H-Techs are a fair drop but wont cover ur gap completly to what ive seen, there are a couple of people that have them here. Look around... If you can get coilovers that will be best desicion. Idk about hotchicks all i know is that they discontinue n r hard to find around sometimes

Why have they been discontinued?

Heres the drops on each and price.

Hotchkis:
Name:  Liani009.jpg
Views: 324
Size:  69.6 KB
Front 1.7"
Rear 1.97"

Price: $192+$19 shipping = $211 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hotchkis-Spo...sories&vxp=mtr

Tein H-Tech:


Front 1.9"
Rear 1.5"
Price: $174.99 Free shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/SKL52-BUB00-...item35b868605b

The drops are almost identical looking even though they are different drops. I would get coilovers but money is an issue. S-Techs are an awesome drop but i would scrape too much where i live.

I guess my decision will be whichever has the smoothest ride. I heard the Hotchkis ride stiff and a few people didnt like it. I wonder how the H-Techs ride.

Idk why they discontinue tho... But thats what i heard.

Its a pretty tough decision tho... I like stiff ride... Not that bouncy ride like some cars... I have raceland coilovers they pretty good so far and they like $350. Ive been having them for about a year they still running good. Have also in mind that you might change socks and struts later on if u jst get springs, but since the drop is not tht much, you'll be fine for now. Look 5 posts up from this, the white tc is my car, not lower all the way but its a fair drop for the streets i live. About 2.5 all around.

I went with the Tein H-Techs. I guess bc they are cheaper and ive heard great things about Tein and i didnt like how they discontinued Hotchkis. Cant wait for them to come in and get them installed! Will post pics.
