So, I'm looking to get some springs for a 99 tl. Im just looking to get rid of some of the wheelgap.
Form what I've understood, S.tech's are more of a drop then H.tech's. My main concern is that i sometimes do have 3 or 4 people in the car, and i dont want to be worrying about rub. That being said leans me toward the H.tech's, but i do still want a noticeable drop. Im also looking at h&r sport springs, seeing that they're drop seems to be right between tein s.techs and h.techs.

Anyone have experience with these? Photos maybe? ideas? input? help?

any advice is appreciated.

get the H&R Sport 50103.

H-tech isn't even a drop.. imo.. its just.. ooo, i have H-Tech.. haha. you barely even tell.

about the rubbing.. you won't rub unless you have some wheels with aggressive offsets.

Thanks for your input! By any chance, do you have any photos of your car with the h techs on?

I plan on keeping it on stock springs... therefore, should i go for the ones with least drop H. techs?
any advice anyone?

if you plan on keeping stock springs, why are you getting h-tech springs then?

alex0431

oops.. i meant stock shocks. sorry

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

that works.. but i would still suggest getting some other shocks.. how many miles on the stock ones?

alex0431

108,000

Yes, as mentioned, if you have 108k on the original shocks then it's time to replace them. TOKICO HP's and H&R Sports would be a great combo.

alex0431

Tokico hp's and h&r sports sounds legit! But theres another $300 to spend :/
Would you happen to know where to find the best price on those Tokico HP's? or any other (cheaper) alternatives?

I have the H&R and they are the perfect combo of drop and comfort.
Pair it with an adjustable strut and you have (Koni yellows for me-top perch)

alex0431

Slowly forgetting about the Tein's the more I read online.haha. Do you have the H&R sport springs or the h&r OE sport springs?

MrChanh

I'm currently running H-Techs.

They ride like shit and the drop is shit. I have regretted them ever since I got them.

Saving up for the FF type1 now

alex0431

So apparently you guys that got the h techs aren't too satisfied.
How does the ride on the h techs compare to to the ride of h&r sports?
