Pros: Fit, finish, price, and drop
Cons: None

The install went well. The springs fit perfect and delivered the 1" advertised drop. It is a nice balance between nice compliant ride and aggressive looks.

Any lower and you risk a harsh ride. These feel very similar to the stock springs, but reduce roll and pitch slightly.

Pros: Ride Quality..
Cons: Stance..sits slightly higher in the front

Install was straight forward..no surprises. I intentionally removed the plastic covers on the rear springs and installed them before I realized I shouldn;t have! Anyway..I left them off and there are no ill effects.

Ride is excellent..very very close to stock. Handling has improved and body roll has been reduced greatly. Overall, there is still a little more squat durring acceleration than I would have hoped for and the wheel gap in the front is slightly more than in the rear.

They are not perfect, but all things considered, I would highly recomend these springs for anyone looking to keep stock ride quality with an increase in handling and a sportier overal appearance.

I am very happy overall.

Pros: drop looks nice, little less bounce than stock
Cons: too soft, crappy ride, bottum on the stops every where

They stop some of the bounce of the crap stock springs but still too soft, I have progress 22mm sway bars they work great, no body roll, guess I will order firmer struts, i was hoping the springs would do the trick but NOT.

Pros: Ride, looks, and control
Cons: none so far

I have had them for about 8 months and I love them. The ride is not rough and they work well with my other modds(19"x7.5" w/ 225/35/19 and whiteline F&R adj. sway bars). Now the car is much more controled. I found the tires effected the ride more then the springs. when I went fro Falken st115 to general exclaim's UHP the ride was much smoother then when I had stock springs.

Pros: easy install.
Cons: squats alot

had these on my legacy 2.5i. under a hard accelration they will tend to squat in the rear. A little more than i like. But not to harsh of a ride. handles turns very well. nice cheap suspension upgrade.

Pros: improve handling a little better ride than the stock
Cons: Could be slightly lower

Keep in mind there are alot of knock offs H-techs out there i would suggest you buy froma reputable shop.

Well the drop was exactly as advertised but i would preferred if they had made this drop to be 1.3 or so.

improves handling much more than expected, the ride was much smoother than stock alot better than what i have in mind.

recommend to any one that have a kid

Pros: Great Handling, Aggressive Looks
Cons: None Yet

Itsme helped me install (installed for me) the H-Techs on stock struts. The car sits lower, but still looks like it could be a factory sport suspension. They should come on the car from the factory! Feel Great! Stiffer but not too stiff.

PM me for any questions

Pros: nice drop, firmer handling
Cons: slight sag in the rear

great product. stiffens up the suspension a bit for a firmer ride overall but i found that while bounces are more pronounced over uneven surfaces it is less jarring than the stock setup.

i found it to sit a bit low in the rear, may have to try installing spacers to level out the ride height.
