    371 $ for a set of 4 shocks/struts = almost free . If the combination does not work the way i want then its time to do something custom.

    I got the eibachs from my friend (free / I gave him my S techs) and the 1.3 " drop is enough.

    What exactly is the difference between the H and S techs?

    Height?

    Ride/rate?

    Stiffer does not handle better?

    Or the H techs are a better suited spring rate for the ecs struts?

    I am honestly thinking of attempting what DG is suggesting if I can get info on spring rates needed. I have the access to the tooling to customize the upper perch. Just need guidance on design...

    I just started to take apart my rear struts and immediately noticed this , the shop botched the install and/or the S techs dont work with spyder smaller upper mounts, anyway no wonder the rear felt like shit
    I though this could happen but 3sx tech said that the s techs do work with 1996 spyder (my first non ecs car)..



    (1996 Spyder)








    the upper strut mounts looks alot bigger in the coupe ( 1994 Coupe)
