Tien S-techs or Skunk2 Lowering Springs on a Civic Coupe

[NelsonLSY]

I just bought S-techs for my EJ8, should be here in couple weeks, hope they bring my ride down to a good height. Needa save up for shocks now. Would tokico hp's be fine with the s-techs? Its the cheapest one if i can remember.

When I was getting shocks for my previous Integra, I found that ppl from other honda forums say the tokico HP allows up to 1.5 inch drop only...

↑Check the #22 post, possibly that one was installed with the s-tech

and I took a ride in a BB6 prelude with the tokico+spring set before, they were soft....but pretty comfy tho

Then now Im running the same set up with Skunk2 shocks + H Tech springs (of integra) on my EG
it's not too low but firm and more than enough stiffness on the street and hill (not for track tho)

King springs may do exactly the same thing, but after a couple years they'll sag like titties. Tein might be a better option if you're planning on lowering your car.

Yes you are right but this is when drivers go wrong!
King springs is proven to be the best quality spring out there
but people use it for height if you want height and performance you need to also change your shocks

people leave shock's stock and just slap on kingy's and it'll sag towards the years cause
combination of stockies and kingy;s arnt the best

correct me if im wrong..

Yeah i read that counterfeit section before i considered buying them, but i sure will check it once i get it, should be here by next week. I'll let you guys know the verdict incase any of you guys are interested in buying a set for yourself

It could also be from the tien h-techs as they lower the car somewhat between 1-1.5" only where as s-techs go from 1.9/1.7".
Well the HP shocks were my first option since they were on budget, if not i was thinking either skunk2s or KYB GR-2 SHOCKS STRUTS (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KYB-GR-2-...item56483c99ca) they are pretty cheap.
Also my brothers DC2 has s-techs with skunk2 shocks and they feel pretty good, its not too bumpy and not too soft and pretty firm as you said.

I see
I was worrying about getting the s-tech, the drop would be too low...thus I got the H tech...

but finally....Im regret LOL

LOL you can always sell them and get S-techs, i reckon s-techs are a perfect drop if you want stance AND comfort. I heard skunk2's are really stiff hence very rough riding because they give a big drop.
