Tein Springs. STech or HTech???
I have a 2012 TL fwd and have narrowed my spring choice down to the Tein STech or HTech. The manufactures descriptions of both make them sound great so I need help deciding. Thanks in advance.

TEIN S-Tech. More drop in my opinion is always better. Of course it has to be within reason.

After a lot of consideration I decided to go with the Tein H-Tech springs. I ordered them from Excelerate Performance and had them installed this weekend. So far I think they feel about the same as stock. I will try and take some pictures when the weather clears and post them.

I had the H-Techs before going coilovers. I'd say they are the best springs to go with for a mild drop and feel just as good as stock ride comfort wise

In person it seems a lot lower than the photos look. Plus I wanted to maintain the oem feel so it worked out just right for me.

$229 for the springs and $42 for an allignment so $271 total. The allignment shop said the back was fine so they only charged me for the front. So that's not to bad for under $300

moma112,

The total cost as I listed above was $271 which included the allignment. I did install them myself and I am not a mechanic but it was very simple.

I liked the Htechs I had on my Accord. I'm disappointed they don’t make them from the SHAWD model. How badly would it screw up the suspension geometry by installing them on an SHAWD?
