Need High Quality side profile pics of H-Tech springs

I am looking for high quality side profile pics showing the ride height between the front and back. Individual wheel well shots are also welcome. I need objective and accurate information.

Additional information like how long they have been installed, personal opinions of the height difference, and if you have a system in the trunk is also appreciated.

I am going to replace my Maxspeeds. All I want is a EVEN, smooth riding drop. This should not be that difficult but almost every spring manufacturer for the Maxima has products that suffer from the saggy a'ss.

BTW, yes I have searched.

Actually yes. And BTW my car is featured on housecor's site so I am more than familiar with it.

There are several members on the org that have had H-tech's for some time and I really wanted to know if the back settled anymore.

The problem is that I am looking for cars with more mileage on the H-Techs. I really want to know if the rear will settle to be even with the front. For a new install, the rear will look higher than the front.

H-Techs on Illuminas, not that it matters.

I have the same picture in 4048x3040px size if you want it.

I have H-techs with KYB GR2's. My computer is jacked and I am currently using someone elses. I probably took 10 pics and included the tape measurer. This was done before my stereo and deadener installation though. I measured exactly 25" from the ground to the bottom of the wheel well on all four corners. At the time those pictures were taken, I had about 20K miles on this setup. It took about 500 miles to settle. When my computer is fixed I will be happy to send you those pics.

check my cardomain page...it has picture comparsions...just no exact numbers. The drop is fairly even. Those pictures are about 1.5 year ago (20k miles)...it settled quite nicely. I can take some new pix if you guys need to see how it looks after it settled.

New pics highlighting the gap between the tire and fender on the front and back would be awesome.

dennisuello, do you have a stereo (huge subwoofer box) in the trunk? How long have you been running on the H-Techs?

What I want to avoid is long term appearance of low in the front high in the back.

I've been on my H-Techs for almost a year and my rear near truly settled even. I don't have a trunk setup or anything and I rarely carry people in the back seat. I have some pix but I'm not sure that it will convince you. Honestly, the only difference I see between the Maxspeeds and the H-techs is that the front is slightly lower on the H-Techs.

i have nothing in my truck besides the donut spare. i've got Bose, so the small woofer and the amp are there as well. actually in the picture the rear springs were just installed, while the fronts were on for two weeks already. so, i expect for the rears to settle down a little as well.

I am confused, according to housecor's site, the H-Tech drops 1 inch while the H&R/Maxspeed drops 1.3 in the back, but overall height is lower for H-Tech? Can someone explain this to a n00by? Thanks

H-tech lowers F(1.6") and R(1.0")...H-tech provides a more agressive drop appearance since it drops the front more than H&R/Maxspeed.

Would there be any difference(height, handling...etc) if the springs were installed on an I35? I'm stuck between the H&R or H-Tech

I35 will be the same because it is basically the same car. I chose H-tech for the appearance.

I am guessing that the top pic is the newest. It appears that the rears have settled a little more than the other pic. Pics 2 and 3 are the same (gas door).
