Default S-tech vs H-tech?

I was looking through different brands of lowering springs. SO FAR. im interested in Tein S-techs. but does anyone know why H-techs are more expensive? i assume that itll give u a more comfortable ride? but why is it more expensive with less lowering? if possible does anyone have pics to show the difference? thnx guys

Oh my bad...lol, yes H Techs cost more cause that still somewhat give you a decent ride quality. My reasoning is more money for a better quality ride...lol. Hope that helps.

S-techs if you don't plan on getting a body kit. i have the Mpower front bumber and it sits almost 2" lower than stock. i just put the H-techs on on Sunday and it sits at about 3.8" from the ground without settling yet. with S-tech i would be around 3"

S-techs drop you lower and are cheaper because the ride quality is worst with them. you'll also need to replace your shocks and struts sooner if you get S-techs.

get H-Techs, i love mine. also, with S-Techs you will probably need to buy rear camber links too since they put your camber so far out of wack and you can't fix that without aftermarket camber links.

i kinda regret getting my S-techs...i wish i couldve gone with the h- techs cause after a while the s-techs tend to sag a little lower once they "break in"

dont get me wrong Tein makes good springs overall imo but ...id def get the h-techs

s-techs are for if you really want that super low look, but in reality, lowering the tC more than 2 inches actually hurts the handling. so just stick with h-techs, or hotchkis.

and low means scraping. seriously, i just have trd springs and struts, it is lower than people expect. and scraping and easing it over speed bumps and steep entrance/exits is just uber lame and time consuming.
