Does anyone own these springs? Thoughts?

I have them on my Stealth. The feel is not much different than stock but the car did drop about an inch. I am not dissatisfied with them, but I wonder how S-Techs would be. I still use stock struts with sport/tour mode. I have not taken the car to the track or autocross. I don't think there would be much performance benefit with these compared to coilovers.

I have a car with H-techs and another with S-techs. In my opinion, ride is similar, S-techs look better with the extra drop.

I am interested to hear that the ride is similar. Right now I am riding on busted intrax. They are about 10 years old. Completely rusted. My suspension is sagging as a result. I am currently tucking the front tires.

I know that ANY spring option would be an upgrade. My car is a daily driver and have to deal with snow and new york pot holes, I am trying to aim for a soft luxurious ride; or at least the softest I can get with our options. I know I don't drive a lexus. If the H and S are THAT similar I'll probably go with the S's. Still undecided though. I wonder why the H techs are $10 more expensive?

I have S-Techs on my car and daily it out here in Colorado. I even take it up into the mountains to go skiing. The ride is only a little firmer than stock, and the height hasnt been an issue so far this year. The wife and I actually moved from Ky with it and the 1200 mile trip was very comfortable, even with a couple hundred pounds of stuff in the back (its amazing how much stuff you can fit in the back of these cars).

The H techs are advertised to have a better ride and with that goes a bit less of a drop. Most feedback I've heard reflects this thread in that they ride pretty much the same. As for pricing they're both the same, at least I offer them at the same price. Retail, and my cost are exactly the same too.

Anybody have any pics of spring drop/ride height with the S techs? I had a set of Eibachs but wanted more low.

Well CRAP.

I searched your site but I didn't see them so I ordered them on ebay.

Your post made me double check, and I didn't notice until now that there was a second page of suspension items.

Yeah, the page numbering is odd with the 3 columns and 25 items per page. It's on my list of things to fix and apparently I didn't get to it in time. :(
