Well, I searched but found nothing relevant. But out of curiosity, will the RS1 lip kit and Tein H.Techs bring the ride height of my tC too low for an everyday driver?

If so, which do you guys think I should go with, springs or lip kit?

Of course the springs are only $185 and the lip kit would be $600-700 painted, if not more... but what ya think?

Thanks in advance everyone!

 

springs

 

gow ith the springs and it should not be too low

 

i have the OEM lip kit with H techs and it's my DD and no problems

 

I had the RS1 lip with Htechs and its fine. I still never really scrape the lip now a days and I'm on SSPs

btw, I'm selling my Htechs with less than a few k miles on them. PM me if you're interested.

 

lol......i have the carbon fiber rs1 lip kit and i'm on s-techs

 

^^^oh so pretty!

 

just for comparison since we're talking about lip kits and springs... just dont go stechs with the jp kit... too low!

its almost scary leaving my driveway...

here's a pic of mine

 

sigh...blue with gold...beautiful

 

I have a carbon fiber lip and H-techs...It's an excellent drop and it's pretty good for a daily driver..just have to angle a little on those steep driveways just to be safe.

p.s I have 18's so i don't scrape as much

 

h-techs is what im goin for too so get that!

 

H-techs FTW!!!

 

Whatever springs your comfortable with buy it, buy the Rs-1 lip, paint and prep yourself, install yourself, and get a shop to do the springs for you (Unless you got the time, help, patience, and tools) .

180(Springs)+
100(Lip)+
150(Spring Install)+
20(Sandpaper + paint)
= $450.

Just my 2 cents.

 

how exactly do you go about gettin a professional looking paintjob on a lip kit if you do it yourself and have no paint guns or a booth or any of that?

 

now idk what to do. i got the rs1 lip and i want to just go low. i want the stechs. even randode said just do it.

 

It's not so bad, try to find an enclosed area where dust and ish doesn't blow in. Wet sand the lip, primer, put a feel coats, than clear coat, and viola its done. The thing for me is, I can careless about the paint job on the lip, I have s-techs and a RS-1 lip, even though I can maneuver through speed bumps and steep areas, at one point its bound to get scratch.

Another alternative is to wetsand, primer and just bring it to a shop.

I also had to choose between S or H techs. My first feelings were not to drop that low and just get H, but than my GF surprised me with s-techs so muaha no decision making for me!

 

Have you heard of the $50 paintjob... haha

 

nope sure havent.

 

I was gonna get the RS1 with my H-Techs, but I already scrape my front in some places, even when I angle it. I think it just depends on the roads/driveways you drive on...
