well i just did this today and i have a question. on one of the instructions it says to face the arrow on the tube for the front strut the same way the forks are. Well i didnt exactly do this, should i be worried? i did everything else right i believe...

 

as long as you put the top on correctly, to where it's labeld "OUT" and that you matched up the key marks.

If you didn't do that, I'd definetly make sure you do ASAP to avoid damage.

 

well, the shock tower is keyed so you can't put it in wrong, so if you somehow put anything in wrong, well.... here's your sign.

 

check again, it is possible to put it in wrong, not keyed.

Another user on this site did that, and the upper strut mount was torn up due to the key not being in the correct spot.

 

yeah i dont think i put it in wrong cuz you really cant, the rubber pieces are made to go only one way. My dad and brother helped me out so we payed attention to everything (i hope). But i should be fine...my box seems a little more lower on S-Tech's then others but i could be wrong...

 

im probably going to check every bolt this weekend to make sure that they are all tight. oh i got a question: On the rear springs is there a way you can install them upside down? the S-tech's i got already had that brown wrap towards the bottom of the springs so i put that side on the bottom. This is my first ever lowering job and im making sure i dont run into any probs in the future, so i dont have to take everything apart again cuz man it took so long for us!

 

This man speaks the truth. ^^^

 

that user does have a name here <<< haha

i didnt cut the bump stop. was i supposed to??? the Tein instructions say to do it. Gonna go to Toyota tomorow for an alignment, maybe have them check it all out and see if its 100% good.

 

I cut mine, but most people on here say it is not required. You will probably be fine, enjoy the springs.

 

Just installed the H-Techs using the instructions.
Very easy job!!! Thanks

 

Great write up and awesome follow-up responses with dos and donts made install a breeze. Thanks

 

is anybody concerned about tire wear? what about camber kits?

 

i dont think you really have to worry about tire wear unless you dont get an alignment after you lower it and drive like a race car driver, should be all good. Im glad i decided to lower mine and will never go back to stock again!

 

Are my springs on upside down? In another forum someone said that they were on upside down....

 

they're fine. that person doesn't know what their talking about.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought too.
Thanks!

 

if there is lettering on the spring, make sure the lettering is right side up.
