Thanks. The Z H-Techs don't lower evenly in the rear. I did .5 driver side and .75 passenger side to even it out. While I was in there, I also installed the Eibach rear toe bolts and camber arms. Camber came out to -1.6 with a toe of .06.

Great thread, but I'm still debating on the Z H-tech or Eibach's...I was informed that Eibach's are more stiffer = improves handling but doesn't completely take away that "luxury" ride + noticeable drop. H techs are almost questionable at times whether or not the car is dropped or stock.

Yes, I'm guessing Eibach Pro-kit may be stiffer. I had them in my old Accord and like them, they were pretty stiff compare to the h-tech that I have right now in my G, I know it's not a good comparison, since it's 2 different cars so probably 2 different specs. But the Eibach will drop the G more than h-tech does, but the drop should be even, unlike mixed results h-tech have. I would totally go for Eibach if I were to drop 1" on the the G.

I'm glad mine turn out fine without springmount mod, though rear right side is 0.25in to 0.50in higher than the rear left..

hey jlin, do you have any kind of rubbing issues with those z h-techs and the 20 mm front/25mm rear spacers? do you have any camber issues?
that's exactly what i'm looking to do, but was unsure of it because i didn't want to have to worry about rubbing...

your ride looks much better with the drop & the spacers, tho. (:

Wow! I'm surprised you still havent got yours done yet. I been reading your thread all this time I been doing research.

Anyways from my research, everyone said shouldn't be rubbing with this combo. HOWEVER I do have a VERY slight rubbing with Z h-tech but only with rear left fender because that side is a bit lower. The rubbing is so tiny that I didn't even notice while I was driving until I was checking out my inside of that fender, found some ribbed dents. I'm guess it may be from other day when I went canyon running (lots of curvy corners) with full tank of gas. Anyways, the rubbing is very small that I might not even do fender rolling.

tell me about it... i just got back from a eurotrip. just been waay too busy; i'm praying that i'll find enough time to get them done REAL soon.

thanks for letting me know about those rubbing issues... i might have to back off 5mm then on those spacers..

then again, i have stillen sways which means less body roll which means better chance @ no rubbing w/ those spacers..? >.< gah, more contemplation needed.

If you are planning to have the Z h-tech and 20/25mm spacers combo. Z h-tech have mixed results for people and depends on what's tire spec you have, these elements take part in causing rubbing. Last 2 days I been thinking, I'm glad I went with 20/25mm because it look very good and I can get away with just a small fender roll.
