H.Tech and Illumina Drop Pics!
H.Tech and Illumina Drop Pics!
As promised, here's the befores and afters - keep in mind it has been 36 hours since they have been installed, I assume they will settle slightly - I'll make a new thread in about two weeks with the final pics after they have settled. I just ordered my tires today for my 19's, so in about two weeks they'll be installed. Pics then, too.
Enjoy!

Looks great CCx. Love the H-tech drop - Very even! Already a noticable drop - Anyone who can't see the difference in front wheel gap just isn't looking. Also, the shadow's in the pics mask the drop a bit. And don't worry, they'll settle.
How's the ride?

exactly what im sayin! yeah i'll admit, i've gotten not only spoiled but a bit conceited and snobbish with my JICs, but still...
my prior maxspeeds went lower than that
look at all the coilover and S-tech Tein bastards talking smack
i like the look of the H-Techs, i might go with them eventually.. very nice and even drop
but
HOW IS THE RIDE QUALITY??????

no bottoming out issues with pillow ball strut mounts

Those piece of sh-t Ground Controls should not be called coilovers or springs.. if anyone hates their car enough, they should by all means waste their money for them. I can't believe they make sh-t like this for cars..
They are sitting in my house somewhere.. they are f-cked.. the adjustment screws are all rusted out and the rings are copper, they barely turn. These things are pure garbage.. i broke one adjustment screw in the rear and i can no longer turn the front adjustment screws, they are seized up because i haven't touched them in a while.
they blew 1 of my struts and possibly f-cked up another one..
i am on maxspeeds for now, then i may decide to go lower after i get my lip put on and see if i clear driveways or not..

1. Sorry I didn't stand in the EXACT same position before and after. Next time I'll make sure to mark the exact spot.
2. To those who have JIC's and S.Tech's, OF COURSE IT DOESNT LOOK LOWER THAN YOURS. Get over yourself. I live on top of 3 large hills, and my driveway is a VERY large hill. I GOT WHAT I WANTED WITH THIS DROP. If it doesn't please you, that's cool, because I didn't buy it for you.
3. Thanks for all the responses
It fixed the front gap, the back stayed pretty much the same. Again, it's what I wanted, it's perfect for what I was looking for, I wasn't looking for the have my bumper scrape the ground whenever I go near a hill look, and that's not what I got, woo-hoo!

P.S. The ride quality is excellent - not much different than stock, depends on how I set the struts - right now they are at 2F/3R - there is nothing harsh about the ride of the H.Tech's, I highly reccommend them, you'll enjoy the heck out of them.

To clarify, the 'left' pics were taken half-standing/half-crouching on the embankment that borders my driveway - the 'right' pics were taken again half-standing/half-crouching but on a different angle of my driveway, and the car was parked roughly 15 feet closer in the 'after' pic on the right side.

I suggest you start golfing with some friends and keep their clubs in YOUR trunk as well, that way you can drop the a$$ a bit lower.....

In the event that someone wants to keep their clubs in my car, that's all well and good, but I won't be concerned with the drop at that point, I'll be concerned about whooping them on the course
