Tein S-techs are the best!!! Here's my forum with pics of my car... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...598&highlight=

But since you dont want it slammed, go with h-techs... even with s-techs i dont have to avoide much, but i still do avoid things here and there... for you i suggest h-techs... good luck!

I think it took a few weeks for them to get settled. After a month I got an alignment done.

I'd say the immediate drop was approx. a 2 1/2 finger gap in front, 3 in back, down to a 1 1/2 finger gap in front, 2 1/2 finger gap in back

hmm...the drop doesnt look as bad. Damnit! im leaning more towards the s techs now. lol


Did you have to get shocks with it "Blacklistcustomz?" or riding on them stock shocks?

Is the ride smooth? smoother than stock?

S-Techs are probably fine if you don't plan on going to a bigger size wheel, but if you do, i suppose there's a higher risk of rubbing. I'm not going to knock 'em though, I had a set of S-techs once, I just decided I wanted less stress on my struts/shocks and just a bit less drop. They both look great though.

I can't stand ones that make the back end lower than the front...

I just installed my S-Techs today . Looks sweet . I thought the drop was going to be too low to even do speed bumps and its not at all !

Scion626Blk: You dont need shocks with s-techs, but you will around 10 or 15K miles... i just put the TRD shocks on with it right up front just because i didnt want to have to deal with redoing them again when i needed new shocks... but with the new TRDs the ride is much better... its a lot smoother than stock, except for on the big bumps/dips...
