tein s techs or h techs? with 18 inch rims
so, i got 18s, droppin my car next week. h techs or s techs? I already ordered a rear sway bar.I want an agressive look, but i dont want to ruin the quality of the ride toooo much, plus i still want good handling, the h techs are more expensive but that doesnt mean they are better... any suggestions or opinions would be nice. thanks.

I'm on 18" Motegi FF7's, and I just Ordered some H-Techs.
S-Techs are too Low, even on Stockers, that's my Opinion though..
That's B Real45's tC on H-Techs and Stock Struts with 18's.
I think that's SO Sick.

Look in my profile for stechs with 17s.
When I had 18s the tire was tucked up into the fenderwell maybe 1/4 inch. Looked sick.
But then again it's whatever you're into. I doubt you'll have any rubbing issues.

If you drop, you lose ride quality. If the springs are soft and do not feel much stiffer, then they are trash.
If you want it to handle its best, you need about a 1.4 inch drop and rates higher than the TRDs. Stechs are a horrible choice if you really care about handling. Htechs are better, but not that good either. Both drop too low and have too low of a spring rate for the drop as far as handling is concerned.
