WTB: Tein H Tech RX8 Springs

I am wanting to buy a set of H Tech springs for my rx8. I almost ordered them from a company, but they are out of stock for the next 4 weeks so I am trying to find some elsewhere. Let me know if you have some or know where I can get a set.

THANK YOU.

The H Techs are about a 1/2" higher. I am not wanting to go as low as the S Techs, but they are WAY more common. Any help?

I just installed the S-techs on mine and it ended up being the perfect drop. I haven't seen anyone selling the H-tech on the forum but there are usually a bunch of S-techs. I have seen the H-techs on ebay for a good price though.

Do you scrape often? I like the way the Teins drop the front lower than the rear, thus evening out the overall heigth, but I am weary that the car may scrape with S Techs.

BUMP.

I had H-Techs (sold them on here a few months ago), and I thought the drop was great. I never scraped on speed bumps, but I came quite close. With the S-Techs, my car would have definitely been too low for me.

Thanks a lot for the update, thats basically exactly what I was figuring... now I know for sure the H Techs are the best spring for my tastes.

My car never scrapes with the s-techs. It is a very clean drop that you can notice. You may have to be careful going over big speed bumps but other then that they are great.

I've never used that but the site's been used by RX-8 club members before. I found them from this post regarding sways and have been using them as a starting point for pricing.

FWIW.

Thank you very much RK. I looked in the website and placed an order. There is something going on with H Techs (some claim Tein raised price by $100, others say there was a problem and they cant get them until 4 weeks due to some Tein manufacturing error, etc. etc. etc.). I am trying to find some place that has them IN STOCK and will sell for less than $200. I placed the order with NeverEnough and will post back in here if they are unavailable.
