Questions about Tein H-Tech

I as of right now have eibach springs they $uck ! they are very harsh you feel every bump etc tec also the front is a bit higher then the rear which looks bad, i wanted a more even drop with a better ride i was checking out houscors site and saw that tein H tech are lower then eibach up front and higher in the rear jsut the way i like it, BUT most important thing is ride quality... how do they feel are they harsh and bad or are they smooth like h&r's ? thanks for all the help. I dont like H&R's B/C theyre very high but i must say there ride is very nice.

Wow, lots of hearsay. I have been riding on Tien H-techs and KYB GR2's for over a year and have never noticed what you have heard. I also have almost no body roll. The ride is absolutely nothing like stock. They are not softer than H&R's. The only drop I have seen in person that is anywhere close to as far as being even are the H&R's. Please(not trying to be a d*ck here) go ride in a car with those springs, or for that matter, do some research for yourself and form an opinion before you give out misinformation.

PM me if you want some pics or other info about the setup I am currently running.

Tein H Techs

I also have the Tein H Tech & Illumina combo. Love this setup. Nothing but positive things to say about them. Body roll or lean is not a issue with this setup.

Get you're facts straight. Tein don't make soft springs, and they all have medium-high spring rates. The H-tech from what I hear are also light weight, and has a very sporty ride, but it is not as harsh as the S-tech. Perfect for the NYC

Still think Maxspeed is the way to go, especially if you're going to use Tokico struts. Tokico will cover strut failure if your car doesn't exceed a 1.5'' drop.
