tein h-tech, how close is it to stock?
anyone with this set of spring? i'm planning on getting the tein h-tech just to get rid of the wheel gap without having a suspension that is too stiff or uncomfortable for daily driving. is it very close to the stock feel?

If you want a good drop and want to keep the stock feel, look into the Tanabe NF springs.
I went with the Tein-S techs, but think they are a little too stiff for me since I would rather have a more comfortable ride than a sportier ride.
If I were to do it again, I'd probably go with the Tanabes.

Re:
Same could be said for the H-Techs, just not as fast as the Tanabes. Anytime you get stiffer springs than stock, the struts will wear out quicker, how much quicker depends on how much stiffer the new springs are.

I think the H-Tech is the best compromise between comfort and performance. I use them paired with Koni dampers for my street/track car and I'm very impressed with the comfort, yet the car performs very well.

good point. when i save enough and it's time to change shocks then i can get the koni. btw, can you give me the link to the koni product? i always see koni but i don't know the exact name of the product/model etc. thanks

If you are looking to get rid of the wheels gap, get the s-techs. They are almost the same spring rate as the stock, but about an inch lower. (there have been MANY discussions here about spring rates, so lets not start that arguemet in this thread) I have seen h-techs on an RX8, and it looked completely stock. If you want to look stock, with a stock ride . . . . get stock springs. If you want to look a little lower, get the s-techs

ok, i just found out that the eibach pro springs have almost the same stiffness as the tien h-techs plus it gives a little more noticeable drop. i'll probably get the eibach pro kit instead. just gotta find a good quote on this.
