I've recently bought H-tech but i won't be installing them untill reading week. Not many people like the H-tech because it lowers next to nothing (.8" ??) but that's what i'm looking for and hopefully settles around 1". Give you an update in 2 weeks

I have the Tein-H-Tech springs. I can tell you now that you won't like them because of your set up. You have a low body-kit and small rims (17"). I know because I was where you were at couple of years ago with 17" rims and a low body kit. I ended up getting some 18" rims and to fill in the wheel gap and then the H-Techs. This is what it looks like now...





It's okay for now but I plan on going lower in the front and getting some Tein-S-Tech springs. The back right now is at the perfect height because of the sound system and the fifth wheel. If you lower your car now with the 17" rims... your kit will hit every dip and still will have the wheel gap. I suggest getting 18" or 19" rims then lower it.

I under stand that money is short but it takes time to do this stuff right. If you do some of this modding to fast you will end up repairing more parts.

I have s techs and Im very happy with the height of the drop. it closes some of the gap but i don't have to worry about driving over bumps and scraping. Just drive her like stock. no worries.

i am considering getting s-techs too, how is the ride quality with the s-techs and stock shocks?

Not to bash on S-tech but if you pair them with the factory shocks you will be disappointed, if not already with the crappy factory spec.

Tire size on your 17's will help out with the gap too.

does your car sag in the rear?

I have S-tech and they're not too bad, not too low that you scrape ( I have the OEM aero kit )and low enough clear up that wheel gap. I have had them on with stock shocks for almost two years and no problems so far, the ride is great, not too harsh that its uncomfortable. I was planning on linking some pics of my car with the 15's and 18's on them to help you out but you can look at my gallery if it helps :-)

how much did you pay for the install for them and did you get a camber kit or no with them if you did front and rear or what

a4turboss~ i paid $180 for the drop at a local shop. I dnt a have camber kit as of now, but i highly recommend getting a rear camber kit (spc) they go for about $90. My rear tires are being owned by camber wear. =(
