Default Tein H-Tech Springs

Where is the best place to but some H-Tech springs?? (Price and website reliability)

I know earlier I was talking about TRD springs, but I have change my mind on the TRD's to get the H-Techs....

I know I dont have to replace the struts immediately but how long can I go without replacing the stock struts??

I don't race the car but I just want to reduce the wheel to fender gap... the car will be just a daily driver...

Since you don't have 50 posts to be able to post in the classifieds, try trdsparks.com.

Strut replacement all depends on your driving skills, roads you drive on, etc. so
that's a difficult ? to answer.

^what does driving skill have to do with replacement of struts on a htech lowered car?

if you are referring to avoiding potholes, then thats no driving skill, its just paying attention no?

I just got mine on ebay from highperformanceoutlet, after shipping totaled to $200, I went on wesellcarparts.com, its about $240 w/ free shipping. So i saved about $40.

Dont worry about the shocks, its not a drastic drop like the S-Techs, and since your a daily driver like me it should last you a while... I do plan on getting the shocks from tokico just to get the full package.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago from eracinworks.com. Paid $175.75 shipped. By far the lowest price. I gambled because I havent heard them mentioned on forums much but the transaction went smooth. They are the real deal, not the fake ones you see posted about either.

I havent put them on the car yet because I decided to get shocks/struts also. I want my entire stock setup in good condition if it needs to go back on for whatever reason. I got the tokicos from here. A sponsered sale by nurspec.

Puttin the setup on tommorow. will let you know how it goes.

If you like to turn corners at 40 mph like an a$s, then you will put even more 'wear and tear' on your struts, no?

Nope, no Tokyo Drift for me... lol
I know you cant drift a front wheel drive car just putting the "40mph around a corner like an a$$" into perspective....
