I have s-techs. The drop is great and the ride is comparable to the stock sport suspension. I would recommend s-techs over h-techs. The h-techs have a minimal drop and wouldn't be all that noticeable.

I have TEIN S-techs and they are great. They give you the perfect drop without sacrificing ride quality. I would say get the S-TECHS

I had S-techs on my impreza and liked them. nice low drop.

s.techs all the way. I wanted the most aggressive drop but wanted to keep ride similar to stock, more than satisfied. S.techs FTW anyday

h-techs. are pretty comfortable. rides a little better than stock with a non-aggressive drop.

a search in the 2is suspension sub-thread should help you find those pics.

i'd post my thread, but i'm too lazy to pull it up myself.

ps. you can't go wrong w/ the s-techs...
