How the ride comfort? Ride height? Pros & cons?

 

Do a search.

But I did have these at one point, soooooo here are my answers.

Ride comfort is comparable if not similar to stock.

As far as ride height, very pleasing to the eye. If you are going for the subtle look. Not to low but, a tad bit lower than the A-spec kit.

Pros: They drastically improve cornering, and looks. They are afordable, they work with OEM shocks (still recommend aftermarket ones) and ride doesn't diminish too much and athey won't throw your alignment off too much.

Cons: If you stay with OEM shocks they will eventually fail. Also, IF for some reason you want the car lower you have to purchase different springs and or coil-overs.

Hope that helps. BTW here's a pic when I had them....

 

This was about a month after install I think, it was a long time ago back in '05.

 

Thanks! Helps alot!

 

heres a side view

 

Installed them on my car probably 3-4 months ago, I love them. I wanted to drop my car, but I didn't want it too low, so I went with the H-Techs. The handling is much improved and the ride quality is better than stock. Here are a couple of pics:

With 17" HFPs



WIth 18" A-Specs

 

Thanks guys! I coud'nt decide coz I thought it will not make a big defference as it only lowered 1.1" front & .7" rear. I didnt now that It will look realy nice. I will definitly get one!

 

do yourself a favor and get dampers at theh same time! the oem shocks will not last long with the stock dampers... delaying this just doubles the total work you will do...

 

that looks good, not too low I would def go for these

 

nice pics, i have the hfp's and have been thinkiing about h techs..thanks

 

where i can get the dampers at?

 

u know, at 1st i really wasn't feeling those 18" a-specs... but with the h-tech drop they actually look pretty damn good... !

 

After reading this thread I too will buy the H tech springs. Which dampers would everyone recommend? Keep in mind I would like something that will not compromise the ride quality of the car. I don't want a daily driver that feels every bump in the road.

 

Koni Yellow + TEIN S/H Tech spring would be good.

I don't have this setup, I have BuddyClub RSD. When switching car w/ my buddy (also had a fully mod TSX, the one behind me in da avatar) w/ the above setup, I always enjoy how smooth the car ride and absorbing bumps pretty well on road too. The only downside is no matter how hard the damper setting is, it still very soft for fast tracking.

 

I was leaning towards the koni, but they are a bit pricey. I'll have to save up a bit to get the whole setup.

Thanks

 

I have the H-Tech's and am running Tokico HP's ("Blues"). They are about $80-$100 per corner and made a GREAT difference in the comfort, handling, and feel of the suspension vs. having the stock shocks on there for a year. I'm very glad I made the switch to performance shocks -- much less bouncy and worth every penny.

 

I would rather you save up then do it right all @ once, at least you can keep a PERFECT condition stock suspension, and do not need to pay installation TWICE (avg. $150 here).

 

I plan on doing the suspension myself. Is there a DIY thread on how to take apart the suspension correctly? Or does anybody from the Bay Area wanna help?

Thanks in advance
