From what I can see on the Tein website, the difference between the S-techs and H-techs, is the drop height, and thats really about it. The S-techs will run about 170, while the H-techs around 200, and the S-techs will drop you 1.8 inches (front), and the H-techs will drop you 1.6 (again, front). Other than that though, I cant distinguish a real difference.

Oh, both can be used with OEM springs.

 

^ ebay is your friend. stechs are 135 shipped, and htechs are a little bit more. if you dont like ebay, i got my stechs on raceinspired.com for 140 shipped.

just got mine installed and oh man they look GREAT. perfect drop, about 1 and 1/2 finger gap..still settling..ill take pics after i eat.

edit:: okay i took some pics, not the greatest but you get the idea. the drop is also a little lower than it looks, my garage is kinda slanted or something..

I got my springs and they are about 15 lbs.
It's killing me to have the springs, but not have them installed yet
I would do it myself, but I don't have a spring.. and I'm not 100% sure if I would do it right so I won't create a bouncy ride and have to redo the whole thing.

Thanks for sharing the pics. That's lookin awsome 97_nw
I can't wait to have it installed!

 

you'll have no regrets, it rides very smooth..great ride. and thanks for the comment, ill get some better pics up later this week when the rain stops..hahah
