don't get those springs, I had them on my 03 evo they are not the way to go, spend money on coilover, the front and rear difference is 1.1 inch, that shifts the weight from rear to front, makes your car more front heavy. Look into SWIFT and espelir, they are better design spring if you must go w/ springs

+1. i had s techs for less than a week before buying my tanabe coilovers. the stance is nice but the ride was horrible.

I also tried the s-techs and now have coilovers. I should have listened to everyone instead of waisting $$. Like fugiwara said, if you must get springs then go with the Swift or Espelir.

+1...this is why I am getting rid of my h-techs and getting coilovers. Plus I think that being front heavy contributed to my tire wear problem even after having it aligned three times.

I have the tein s-techs and now after 15000 miles I am having to repalce everything with the tein flex coil overs because the drop on the springs was too much for the factory sturt causing the front seals in the strut housing to blow. The springs were just a cheap fix for the ride height but now it is costing more money then in the first place.
