*** new stuff for my ride *** (PICS)
BEFORE....
AFTER... with our the drop
AFTER... with only the front dropped
Over all I'm very happy with the rims (ebay replicas, this post will be duplicated in the tires and wheel section with more pics & thoughts) and tires (Falken Ziex) but I don't like the feel of the car with the drop. The ride is way to rough for me, I know it's going to look a little goofy with the wheel gap but I'm not liking driving around worried about every little bump in the road, and the roads here aren't that bed. I can't imagine what the city roads must be like on you guys with some serious drops.
Comments and questions are welcome. There may be a set of slightly used Tein H-techs on the for sale forum soon....

I am surprised the ride seems that rough with the Htechs. Were you on the same 40? series tires and same struts before the drop? I have maxspeed with illuminas on 225/50/17 Turanza's LS-V's paired with stock gle wheels and the ride to me is very acceptable. It is noticeably better than how my friends stock 02 SE feels. All I am saying is that you may be noticing the ride degradation due to the tires profile and not so much the springs.
On a totally different note, I noticed in another thread you mention that you solved your pinging issue. I assumed you sold the car, what ended up making it go away?
Thanks.

No, I didn't sell the car. I used the Home depot catch can to catch the oil blow by and that has pretty much taken care of that issue.

Hi there P. hope all well. I was hoping to avoid putting too much money into this project. I can do all the spring swapping myself but it's kind of a PIA. All I want is a small drop in the front all the while keeping the ride as close to stock as possible. Thanks for the input it was helpful.

I order the g35 replicas and the rear wheel bore was wrong anf the dust cap wouldn't fit on the fromt without modification. Did you have these issues with your wheels? I returned mine. The company was good to deal with BTW and I got my money back. Just curious. Thanks.

Did you change the struts??? That would be one of the reasons why your ride is feeling bumpy and etc

stock struts for now that are fine, may re-consider when they go bad.
