Tein H-Tech Sedan pics

A few people have been asking around about the H-techs on the Sedan. How 18's or 19's will fit/ride/rub whatever, and I've been trying to answer questions without showing any pics. Hope this works. Sorry about the light. I rushed to get these done. I'll take better pics after I wash her. if you have any questions about the springs...

IMO, that's a PERFECT drop for the sedan!

Boon is right - Toyo Proxes 4 245/35 R19. love 'em. I went with the Proxes 4 instead of Proxes 1's because of the crappy weather in nc.

the kit is a hybrid-

Competition Front bumper from www.creativeautoonline.com (extremedimensions.com clone)

sides and rear - Stillen urethane

I can't believe how much those two kits were made for each other. the lines and height match up perfectly. i'd love to get you more pics in better lighting conditions and closer up to show clearance. hopefully this weekend.

The H-techs gave me just the right drop to clear bumps too. and they are not stiff that i feel every crack in the road.

Thanks for the comments!

Nice ride for sure!! Looks wise it needs more drop in my opinion. But probably a much better ride than the S techs. What is the front and rear drop rated at? Did you cut your bump stops?

the s-techs would possibly open up a whole new realm of expenses, i.e. camber kit, shocks, new front bumper.
the drops are 1.4"f/0.7"r
the s-techs are 2.1"f/1.4(ish)r (i can't remember the s-techs)
i went with the h's because i wanted a conservative drop. my toyos are a little smaller, so i get back another 0.3" wheel gap. not a lot imo. but i'm running about 4 1/2" clearance in the front. i feel that if i go any lower, i won't be able to pull into my driveway (i've already clipped it about 3 times).
did not cut bump stops.

You should swap out your rears with something slightly lower. The front looks great but the rear is too high IMO. I agree s-techs are too low and very rough on bumpy roads. How do the H&R drop?


Max is gone soon when I pic up the M6 Sedan. So I am trying to find the best solution for me.

really nice drop Jas, i think you have help me decide on what drop to get on my car, dod you have any camber issues, how far back into spec did you get the alignment. Also which model of the h-techs are these, the ones meant gor the g35 s?

thanks will. yes i got the h-tech's for the sedan.
i put these on at around 7000 miles. i changed my rims and tires at 13,000. when i looked at my stock tires, i did not have any noticeable uneven wear between the inside of the tire and the outside. that tells me i do not have any camber issues. i do drive kind of hard, so maybe the camber adjustment is welcome.
alignment was inside specs. i forgot the numbers.
the ride is a little rough, but not unbearable. pretty fitting imo. i have a concern with my shocks now. i may be switching to tokico d-specs.
