I like my Htechs and I like the stance without a camber kit. I also have wheel spacers on mine..

15mm in back and 5mm in front.
I heard that h-techs dont give a big drop and is not very noticeable. Appearance wise, is there any difference between stock vs dropped on htechs?

Tenabe NF210 springs.. I'm on 20s, give you 1" in the front and .6" in the rear.. Not expensive.. LOVE the ride. Don't need camber kit, just get a realignment about a week after installing.

I use to have rsx and lowered it on Eibach sport line springs. going like 40-60mph on a hole or a small bump felt like crashing a car lol. Shocks wouldn't work for **** on high speeds. So I told my self I would never lower a car without buying coilovers. So I would never suggest to lower car just with springs unless you like always drive on perfect road with no pot holes.

Went to National Tire and Battery (NTB) and they had no problems doing my alignment.. The machine they use actually will tell you if you need a camber kit, (will be on the results of your alignment) and their alignment is warrantied for 6 months..

I think that depends on the spring rates of your springs.. The Tenabe NF line is only +5% of the stock rates.. So it doesn't feel any different (feels better to me) than stock.. In my opinion, it's actually a smoother ride. I didn't foresake the luxury feel by going for a dramatic drop, it's a conservative drop, but because I have 20" rims, it fits just right and the wheels fill the wells nicely. I'm sure if I only had 19's people would be telling me I need to go lower..

I'm conscious of potholes though, and there's a fair amount of construction everywhere I go (Dallas).

With the Z htechs there is. G htechs is less noticeable.
I had about a 3 finger gap in the front and rear when the car was new on oem sport suspension.
Now there's a 1 finger gap up front and 2 finger gap in rear.
After the spring mount mod the rear will be down to 1 like the front

J/K dude. Springs, with the rear spring mount mod to even things out are a great option. Highly recommend a rear camber kit, since it will have you money on tires in the long run. The Eibach/SPC rear camber kit should cost around $150 IIRC.
4 metal Cutting discs $12.00
2 hour labor in mechanic $125
rebounding for 3 km after a "one" road bump - priceless

lol @ picture - Ricers way
