Default S techs or H Techs?

I'm a new tC owner and I have ordered an Injen intake and i'm about to order some springs to lower it but I just don't know which to get for sure. I have a fairly steep driveway and don't want to scratch my bumper or if i get a new exhaust I don't want to scratch that, So I would like to know what some of you guys/girls think of your htechs or stechs

headsplitter, those are currently at the top of my list, did you install them yourself? if not where did you have them done? and what was the price?
i'm thinking about installing them myself but I want to install them very soon and it's still very cold and snowy so i might have a local shop do the install

i have s-techs. Its a really drop in the front, It looks great, but I;ve scraped my share of times. Nothing that shows on the lip, all underneath the lip.

I'd say go h-techs if there's snow in your area. I live in socal, so not a problem with me.

S-Techs; 2.4" Front, 2" Rear
H-Techs; 1.9" Front, 1.5" Rear

If you have a steep driveway, go with H-techs It would be a good idea to change your struts if you go with S-Techs. Being lower will wear out your stock struts/shocks quicker.

You do not need to replace stocks nor struts, they are fine on any lowering springs.

get H-Techs, i love mine. you won't need new struts/shocks so soon either. with S-Techs you will probably need to buy rear camber links fyi.

Good choice. I love my H-Techs...I only scrape once in a great while, on steep dips/bumps...

This is stock height on stock size tires but with MPower front bumper so it's a little lower than yours


This is on H-techs that day. remember they still have to settle a little
