Tein H tech drop

Most I've ever done was oil change/atf change. Did the drop myself. It's easy, just the first time is a learning experience, so it took forever. I accidentally put one rear spring on upside down, had the wheel on a ready to go before I double checked, removal and flipping of the spring a second time took 20 minutes (rear seats where still out.) Total time took about 8 hours learning as I went, ratcheting on and off the spring compressors was a pain in the ass. Sorry no before pics.

Tips: You might need a crowbar, and breaker bar, wear gloves. Don't pay someone else to do it.

+ Tein claims they are very comfortable and can be paired with oem shocks due to its minimal drop!!

H tech drop = WIN! I love mine, especially now that they're fully settled. Yours should settle out completely within about a week I'd say. Looks good with the aspecs man. Good ride too, not harsh at all...a little firmer and more responsive, but that's what we want, isn't it??

Nice drop OP! But keep an eye on your OEMs if you have alot of bad roads/ or obstructions.... Here in "Pot Hole City" Maryland I blew my RT front OEM w/ the HTechs after only 10K miles (to be fair they had about 60K on them when they were installed) GL
