Any Feedback on OEM Shocks & Struts with H-Tech Tein Springs

Hi Peeps,
I have just replaced my OEM shocks and struts with Monroe's with OEM specs. Now I bought some H-Tech Tein's. Will this be a decent ride? Or must I get new shocks and struts? The Monroes have 1500 miles on them. Practically brand new but cost me over 600 dollars to purchase and install.

Thanks.

Dr.Omed.

They should have a decent ride since it's a mild drop. If you had S-Techs it would be a whole different story.

from my experience, they do not last too long on lowered cars. It could be that it happened to mine because they were already gonna go soon, but the rear ones at least failed soon after I installed maxspeeds.

Thanks man, that was a nice comment. Yes, I realize the H-techs are a soft drop but the idea of having the stiffness and handling of tokicos is making me wonder if I should just swap them out. My car already has 160,000 miles on it, so I don't know if its worth dropping another 600 on suspension.

Does anyone think there is a market for this brand new Monroe stocks and struts? I mean, I willing to part with them for $350 bucks. I'll obviously take a hit, but I have no choice.

Thanks for everyone's input.
