wurkenman Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just like the title says. I'm thinking on lowering springs and just wanted some opinions on which springs to go with. The TEIN H or S springs. Anyone use either of these? Thanks Terry If you woke up today, you have another chance to do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground000 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 h techs for comfort s techs for looks with all lowering springs your struts will wear out faster and ride will be a bit or a lot more harsher.... depending on type search s/h techs have been covered many times hurr 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compsurge Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Only get S-Tech iif you put Koni struts in. It's the only way they will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpalumbo159 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have s-techs. I'm happy with the look and ride isn't as bad as everyone says, but Definatly in need of some new struts, any suggestions . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Konis. It makes the S-Tech very compliant if your roads are nice and smooth. Otherwise they are just a good spring with some harshness on big bumps (and holes) and a nice looking drop. They S-Techs need the extra travel of the Koni strut. Wait a few months and get all 4 Konis for <$500 with the yearly inventory sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiot4hire Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have Stock struts/H Techs. I have about 10k miles on my h techs. The ride is a little bumpy not that bad. I like it more stiff though. I am going to get S techs soon not sure what struts I am getting yet. It does have a saggy but though =( Pictures can be deceiving but this will give you an idea. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/582434_314871678623477_1609095753_n.jpg http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/317623_283583298418982_1100656428_n.jpg I'll trade you my s-techs for your h-tech's I don't like how low and hard my ride is.

famaya26 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 How long do the Konis last with S techs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compsurge Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 They should last a lot longer than stock struts with S-Techs. The Konis have 1.5" more travel in the compression stroke from what I've read up on. S-Techs will blow out factory struts given enough mileage.
