Anyone have some pics of cars on H Techs?

Here is my car on s techs:

I'm thinking it will look practically the same and give me a little more suspension travel in the front.

I almost bought H Techs, but was worried it wouldnt be low enough, so S Techs is what I am running too. I am pretty happy with the ride of the S Techs.

The ride is fine, it is just the bilstein struts are a little long for our application and even with the bumpstops cut the front travel is a little limited over big bumps.

I am running ECS, but I need new ones, sticking with ECS though.

H tech won't drop the car as much. I have to use a set of Tein H on the rear and Tein S on the front to get an even drop on the Spyder. I have a set of fronts if you want to try them to see what they do.

Any chance you have the S-Tech rears available?

Here's Tein H-Techs & ECS on my '98 VR4 and a comparison shot of our '98 against our '95 which still has stock springs & ECS

Front 1.7" Gap

I sell probably 20 sets of S-techs for every H-tech set for some reason. People are mainly looking for the drop I suppose but I know a lot of people love the ride of the H-techs.

^.....This.

For me.. HTechs +ECS for my Street only driving + our Mountain roads is a very nice set up. Gives me just the right range of firmness vs. soft ride when needed... I don't like the handling on the Spyder with the complete stock setup as much - it doesnt firm up enough when on Hard/Sport by "butt" comparison.

Yep, they're basically a spring for someone who wants to get rid of the giant wheel gap and keep the stock feel while getting some better handling out of the deal. I really don't know why they're not more popular. Of course with how many Megan springs I sell I think most people choose low over comfort.

I chose the S Techs because I wanted low, and I wanted to do AutoX. They really dont ride that bad, but with the crappy roads around here they can be rough compared to stock. H Techs probably would have been fine though, yours look great Duke.

I have S Tech in front and H Tech in the rear. Gap is barely over 1 finger on each. I had to use adjustable arms + negative camber in the rear to avoid rolling the fenders. Suspension travel is very good all around with my new ECS struts and these springs.

If my ECS was working, and struts weren't worn out, I'd have gone for H Techs. Given my circumstances, coil overs will probably be cheaper, or at worst about the same.
