My new H Techs finally arrived direct from Tein. The after pics were taken moments after the install.
It now also handles better and has a better ride. My setup includes Monroes at all 4 corners, Whiteline raer swaybar, DC strutbar in front and the Energy bushings up front. I may have found the perfect setup for daily driving IMO.

See, Jeff, isn't it nice being amongst the lowered again?

H.Techs were my first springs, I liked em... not low enough for me though.

Once those rears settle in, it'll look great.

bB2NER

Ian, how much you think it will settle? 1/4 inch or so? Also about how long will it take roughly?

burstaneurysm

You'll probably get 1/4" outta em. Give it 2 weeks.
Here was my gap on H.Tech.

Looks good.
Did you get universal energy sway bar endlinks?

bB2NER

Thanks, Yeah I did the Energy bushings like 2 years ago back when I added the Whiteline rear bar.

Thanks also Ian for those pics. I have something else to look forward too. haha

Looks good Jeff!
I'm starting to feel like Ian now. I think I wanna go a bit lower...

bB2NER

^^^Well heck. I would have waited and bought your springs from you and saved some bucks.

burstaneurysm

Do it! DF210 FTW!

I have had my H-Techs for 1 year and always enjoyed the ride. The drop is mild, but never a single problem with speed bumps and the front lip still cleares most of the curbs.

bB2NER

You got any good side profile pics of how they look a year later?
I can't get over how quiet these springs are compaired to my old Hotchkis ones. Their dead coils used to clang into each other and make weird noises. These H Techs are quiet like the stockers. I wish I had gotten Teins from the start.

Looks good. I had H-Techs on for a year, and loved them, just wanted lower after awhile. So went to S-Techs, and really don't notice much of difference the ride. Only been on a few months now, and i'm thinking I want it lower agian!

bB2NER

Thanks, You leaning toward coil-overs or bags?

I'd love to have bags, but it's my DD, so i'll end up doing coilovers. I had a bagged DD already, and it was a headache.

bB2NER

You should love the adjustability of the COs. I'd love to have them but I can't justify the cost.

Sciond

go coil overs....for a serious drop when you want it...........

bB2NER

Thanks Scott. Means alot!

Box looks great, Jeff. What wheels are those? And what tires? Have a picture of the tread pattern?
I have been looking for a nice rim with only 4 lug holes. Please post price info and spacer info if any.
H-Techs are a safe bet, I have not bottomed out since the install.

bB2NER

They are Sacchi S-12s 15X7 40 mm offset. I paid 100 bucks per wheel plus shipping from BWT. Here is a link...
