Hey Everyone. Im new to this scion forum.

Im thinking about gettng tein h-techs or tein s-techs. Which ones are better for my car if im not planning to change the shocks any time soon?

 

i like the h-techs better then the s-tech...... it depends on how low u want ur car!

 

i want to lower it where its noticeable but i dont want it slammed or anything to the point where i have to angle my car whenever there is a dip.

Oh yeah, btw i drive a scion tc. lol. i guess i forgot to mention that

 

if you dont wanna scrape and just want to be safe and still have your car look good, go with h-techs, thats what i did and i am completely happy with them

 

yeah, ive been leaning towards the h-techs.

 

I have s-techs with stock wheels/tires(no lip kit either), and the only time I need to go up at an angle is when im going up/down a steep driveway. Speedbumps are no problem for me

I love my s-tech, they give my car a very nice look

 

either one are gonna work great........i did htech....install is the 14th.......can't wait to get them on.........

 

s techs FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!! just dropped her yesterday. shes beautiful

 

depends. I had s-tech on the corolla (which is about 3" all around), and the ride got annoying without any upgrades to the shocks and struts. I don't know what the drop is on the tc.

If you want all around comfort, the h-techs are the way to go.

 

i love the feel of the h-techs... i have a lip on mine and i still scrap (only on steep dips) and im constantly have to angle just to be on the safe side...

 

also, i dunno if its with all springs, but the ride feels SMOOTHER than stock!

 

Coilovers!!

 

I went with s techs. No problems scraping with a stock body. I was afraid of scraping all kinds of things like on driveways and speedbumps but I haven't had any such problems.

Then again, TunedtC has a point with the coilovers :D

 

yeah he does, if you can afford them. Coilovers are the best, just a bit pricy for most people

 

H techs FTW! I have stock wheels and I love the drop. Its noticeable and the ride is comfortable on stock struts.

 

can you guys post some pictures of your cars with the springs so i can exactly see the drop differences between the s-techs and h-techs.?

 

Coilovers will happen sometime in the future, but definitely not for the financially challenged. The s techs will hold me over until I can save a bit more (barring anymore tC purchases). I've yet to get pics of my car with the drop. I'll see if I can find my digital cam.

 

H-Techs, FTW. Here's some before & after shots...

BEFORE

AFTER (fully settled, excuse the dirt...)

 

Love the photo......hope my htechs look that good next week......how long was it before they settled completely.............and what was the inital drop after install........
