Finally got around to installing my H-Tech's this weekend and boy is it a change. This is for sure the way the car should have come from the factory! Each turn I make seems to be better than the last; I can’t see any sort of body roll or any real change from factory ride comfort. The drop is not over aggressive at all and has worked very well with normal daily driving. (Speed Bumps and what not)

I’ll continue to update as they settle more. As for now here are some pictures from the install and the new drop. I’ll post up some others as soon as I have a chance to take some day shots.

haha i have that same phone but thats hawt O_O

 

yeah, a whole car shot would be awsome.

 

I was going to take some this morning but we are getting hit with a good amount of snow. I'll get some up here as soon as I can get a decent shot!

 

looks nice, just wonderin tho ,do you think you could sneak in a shot of your intake?

 

nice work

 

Sure thing..

 

wow that thing is nice. looks better then my injen. hows it feel? idk the differences between the 2 (if htere is any). but that thing looks nice.

 

FYI for next time...

you dont have to tkae off the front bumper, jus take off the wheel and the pins for that black cover thing. works better

but it looks GREAT

 

Umm I can't really say I "feel" anything different but I sure as hell can hear a difference. They car for sure is much more vocal and as someone quoted before it sounds like a typhoon under the hood. I need to try and get some audio so I can let people get some idea of what it sounds like.

My first DIY for this car so I had no clue. All the DIY stuff I found from searching said to remove the bumper along with the instructions I got with the intake. I'm a n00b so I'm still learning, but thanks for the info, I may try that when it comes time to change/clean the filter.

 

yea, you dont HAVE to take the bumper off but it makes it a hell of a lot easier.

 

My next obstacle is going to be the short shifter, still trying to track down a dermal though. That way I don't have to massacre the shifting bracket that bad.

 

What type of struts are you using?

 

All stock, cept for the spring. At least for now, down the line once these shocks start to go out I'll replace with coilovers I think.

 

I just got my S-Techs installed last week and i friggin love em. Here are a few pics...

 

Soooo low, I would be digging speed bumps out of my bumper with those springs. That's way aggressive drop for sure but it's still very nice.

Looks good man.

 

Thanks, its not really that bad on the speed bumps tho. I still have like a 3" clearance in the front, so its ight. Thanks tho man, urs looks sweet too.

 

Cheeky

Hows the ride ... Is it bouncy at all? I wasn't sure if the tC's oem struts were strong enough to handle lowering spring.
