Tein H tech v.s Tein S tech

I wanna get a spring do not lower so much and will not hit the floor when driving down the hill. And since my gf don't like shocking..
so does the Tein S tech spring has this problem?
which should i get?
H tech or S tech

I heard that S tech is a little bit dangerous when driving over 80 MPH

Or you guys suggest other springs?
thanks

The drop on the H-Techs are about .8 of an inch. I'm sure once they settle it'll be an inch even.

Keep it stock and turn slower. That should do it. Best mod ever. Sways anyone? S Techs being dangerous over 80mph? BS on that one. Driver's fault not the springs.

i think traveling at higher speeds with the s tech would be safer,, especially because you have a lower center of gravity,, harder to flip your car,, yea boi

Beefier bars would be better than those s techs. Just don't overdue it.

get the h-tech's and a rear sway bar, the s-techs will be too bumpy for your girl most likely. it will still handle nice with rear sway bar and the h-techs!

s-techs give a ~1.5" drop. its enough of a drop for you to need a camber kit in the rear.
The S-techs are a perfect choice for drop and money if you can't afford coilovers.
