S-Tech vs. H-Tech...Convince me to choose!!
I'm trying to decide with why to go. Let me say that I love the S-Tech drop but I'm worried about all the other negatives i.e. fitting on a rack @ the dealer, scraping on bumps etc... I am going to put Tok Illuminas on with 18's. Give me your opinion.

I bought the Illuminas and H-Tech combo - haven't installed yet, but purchased the H-Techs because of the fact that I live on a hill, my driveway is a steep slant, and I was worried about banging the front of the car every time I pulled up into the driveway or drove around my hill. The listed drop is 1.6"/1.0", but I'm hoping that settles to be a little lower when all is said and done. I have not found many 5th gen pics with the H.Tech's installed so I made my decision sight unseen. Hoping the 19" wheels will draw attention away from any remaining wheel gap.

I just bought the h-techs a few weeks ago and I love them, nice drop, that is low but not too low.... with the s-tech i was afriad that the car would be so low that the wheel well would engulf the wheel and tire of the car and look slammed, which is not what I personally like.

Since you're doing 18"s I'd do the H-techs. Low enough IMHO. Here's some shots of Sheki's 18's with H-tech in case you haven't seen:

what do you guys think about going with H-techs on the front and H&R in the rear? It looks like the H-techs will drop the car in the front more while the H&R will drop the car in the rear more making it more of an even drop. the H&R dont drop enough on the front and H-tech dont drop enough in the rear. not even going to think about S-tech, those are too low for me. Help me please because i am going to be installing these next weekend. thanks

do you like apples or oranges?
j/k...just depends on what type of ride quality you want, and what kind of look you want. Unless you have a kit, you won't scrape even with S. Techs. However, they'll be a rougher ride. But then again H. Techs look like your car isn't even lowered.

I think more people with H.Tech's need to post pics ....or is it just that no one has them? Although I haven't installed mine yet, I find it somewhat tough to believe that they don't make it look like your car's dropped at all - but we need more pics!
