NJauto-x · 09-05-2006, 10:20 PM

what are the spring rates.... i had a set of s-techs for a different car and the drop was too much and the rate not enough

***rippars*** · 09-05-2006, 10:22 PM

what are you looking to get out of the springs? performance or looks...

Htuner34 · 09-10-2006, 06:53 PM

it all depends on the drop your looking for...both have an agressive drop I have the S.Techs (for the Si) and they give 1.6"F and 1.4" R. looks very good in my opinion. H.Techs are more towards daily drivers who don't want to go to low...i think a 1" or 1.2" all the way around.

This is up to you since i don't know your taste or what you're going for. IMO and according to some friends and my salesman at honda...the S.Techs looks great. Tein S. Tech here's mine...hope this helps

Sport Techs for sure. (S.Tech)

Tein, btw stands for Technical Innovation.

ok, first, we need more info on your car. is it si or regular coupe?

i ask coz s tech doesn't fit the regular coupe, they're only for si'.

Most likely not. It really depends on your wheel offset and tire width. In a straight line you won't rub.

good read... im goin wit the tein s also

tonybui · 01-21-2007, 01:13 AM

One guy said s-tech only fit SI and one said it does fit the coupe, i have a coupe. Can anyone clear this out for me please ?

JeShUa · 01-21-2007, 03:18 AM

fits all coupes

Tiznonay · 01-21-2007, 05:06 AM

I've been considering these 2 springs for my coupe as well. To be honest im leaning towards the H techs just cuz you wont have to get a camber kit or anything, and also the H's are your best odds for having a setup where your tires wont rub. Then again on the other hand, I dont wanna end up not even being able to tell my car is lowered... bah!

its a lot to think about

JeShUa · 01-21-2007, 05:10 AM

my tires dont rub.. 18" 225/40/18
no camber kit

:] haha

roadrunner1659 · 01-21-2007, 11:03 AM

i am also really thinking about the tein s tech spring...i love the look of a lowered car! but if i am going to do it i must get a camber kit b/c i need max life out of my tires right now...

so does anyone have any suggestions are far as camber kits go?

thanks!

I was interested in lowering my car

but I never did it before

I saw the DIY, but I'm still confused in what to get (tools)

bernies07civic · 02-14-2007, 10:34 AM

im lookin to lower my r18 but have some questions. Heres my situation, my parents said I could get after market rims but have to use the stock 16" tires. So I was going to buy new rims and then lower it to make up for the rims lookin too small.Do you think lowering my car will help the rims look larger. My parents won't know about this lowering, do you think that they could tell if I lowered it bout 1.5" or so? Which spring would be the best for my situation? Good idea or bad idea, lowering my car without telling my parents? Will lowering my car effect my insurance? Any help answering these questions is greatly appreciated.
