Default Update w/ Tein H-techs **Pics**

This is to illustrate the drop on H-Techs. For those people who are trying to decided between S-techs and H-techs, or perhaps TRD's. I love my drop. It's not to slammed(S-techs) and it's lower than the TRD's. Also, it dosen't give you that "your rear tire looks lower than the front tire does" look. Here are the pics..

It was at a local shop. But, I'm having it redone by ZPI, cause they have mandrel bent piping. My exhaust has crushed bent piping, and I don't like how much angle is in the position of the Blitz exhaust. So, I'm going up this weekend to KY and have ZPI do it for me this time, and give me the JDM lean that I want, and give me mandrel pipes instead of crush bent.


The drop of the S-techs are gorgeous, but I don't like the tilting "up" look that it gives. The back tires are going to be tucked more than the front, and I don't like it like that. Besides that, the drop leaves no room for a body kit, on a daily driver. Eventually I'm going to go SS-P and drop it to whatever height I want it to be.

Not for me. I love the H-tech drop. You also have to keep in mind, what size rims you are going to go with. I'm going with 19x8.5, and from what I understand 19's will rub with S-techs. To be on a safer side, if you go S-techs, then you should go with 18's. But since I have H-techs, the 19's are going to fit perfectly. I'm relying on the 19's to fill the rest of the gap and not have to worry about rubbing issues.

Those h techs are EXACTLY what I am looking for. I do not want to scrape the ground but the front and rear look perfect to me. I like the rear a tiny big higher than the front. Thanks for the pics!

Bairly dropped it..? Wow.... Not sure what to say to that other than look at the photos haha. The rear does not look that dropped but the front sure as heck does. Give them a few weeks to settle and they will be perfect.

Again, keep in mind, I'm going with 19's. The 19's will for sure fill the rest of the gap. And if you are thinking of going with S-techs, and then want to get a body kit afterwards, I feel sorry for you. Unless there are ultra smooth roads where you live, your kits going to be all over the road.

Not too low, just low enough to catch a second look. PERFECT drop.
