S-Techs BLOOOOOOOW.

Oh, and you'll probably rub a little.

Also, search next time, there is an entire thread on wheel fitment. And it's stickied.

I had H-Techs on nearly-bad OE struts... It's torture!

I'd take a look at H&R and Tanabe.

i had both h-techs and s-techs
h-techs were fine
s-techs rubbed a nice hole in my fender liner
I also have 18x8 wheels on 225/40/18's

do it the right way.. go coilovers.. a bit more expensive, but only 200 more if your buying new struts w/ the s-techs, which you prb should since its so low... i have s-techs now, and rub with the 17 inch wheels and 225/45/17 tires (winter)... oh and the handling sucks, just thought i should throw that in there lol

ive had tanabes w/ 17" wheels, h-techs with 18" wheels, and s-techs w/ 17" wheels soon to be 18"

i personally like the s-techs the best out of thos three.

h-techs are nice but the s-techs look a lot better and the ride isnt hald bad, it was worse in my tanabes
