Default Anyone have the Tein h-tech springs?

Anyone? Are you happy with the drop & ride? Please post pics if you got 'em. They don't seem to be as popular on here because of the moderate drop, I assume.

After much back and forth, I think I'm going to give the Tein h-tech a try first. They only lower it 1" front/.6" rear. I really want to lower it more in the front, but my problem is my wheels are pushed out to very flush in the back and I don't want rubbing issues there by lowering it too much. If I could even the gaps out front to back that would be ideal. The minimum drop with coilovers is slightly over 1" front and rear so that won't work for me. I actually thought about putting s-tech springs up front (1.6" drop), and h-tech springs in the rear. Tein thought it could be done, the spring rate difference from s-tech to h-tech is only 20lbs. That might give it too much of an aggresive rake, so I'd rather proceed cautiously.

Hey i'm also looking to drop my car in the front, but just the front. If you get the H-tech and and decide you don't like it. I'll buy the front springs from you. I don't need the springs for the rear. I have my system in the back and it's drop my car about 1/2" already. I just have to do something about the front. This is what it looks like right now.....

I don't have an IS but I have the h-techs on my g35. I like them. I didn't want a big drop. Curbs and dips are not friendly on lowered cars. I'm tired of driving so careful you can't enjoy the sportiness. With the h-techs, the car looks fine and I can enjoy driving.

Yeah I have them on my Accord, love em! The drop on the Accord is almost about 2 inches. But they are NOT installed on stock shocks either.
