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.

After from the same side for comparison

 

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.

 

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

 

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

Front:

 

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

 

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...

 

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

 

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.

 

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!

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

jeff looks good

 

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.

 

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