what's the difference between the H tech and the S tech springs? I found a pretty good deal on some H techs and thought somebody here could do my dirty work for me and just tell me the answer. :wink:

I have the H - tech's. Gives you about 1.5 fingers between 17's and the fender all the way around. Ride is very tolerable, stance is much better. It's a steal for the price, IMHO.

The S tech's are a more aggressive drop. You end up with a finger between the fender and wheel up front, but your wheels are tucked in the back. Too low for street use if you ask me.

just my .02usd

he's asking $174 shipped for them, brand new in box. looks like that's about $25 cheaper than I've seen online so far. might just go ahead and get them. then all I need is that rear sway. and this paddle-ball game. and that's all I need. :wink:

Sounds like a good deal, lut us know if you get them or not... for someone resisting the modding itch, you are not doing so well.... :lol:

if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.

I just feel like the car should "look" like a Stage 2 car, know what I mean? I went all last year without getting springs. I'm due. :P

Aren't those springs labelled as "style master"?

Anyhoo, you can search the NASIOC forums for the full explanation, but the green springs don't have much of a following from the suspension gurus there.

Remember, just coz the wheel gap isn't even, doesn't mean the CAR isn't even.

springs are my only real concession to styling. I don't want to hurt the handling, but I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't help a whole lot either.
