Default Tein H-Tech Springs?

Does anyone have these or has anyone heard anything about anyone who has had these? I am on the edge of ordering these and have not seen any input anywhere about them. I only want to drop my car .5" to 1" so these are perfect. I would think that the ride must be almost stock and that is what I would like to retain. I really don't want to spend alot on modding my SC430 so the Tein CS are out of the question, but I need a small drop, so if not the H-Tech, then what would you guys recommend? Thanks for your help.

I have Tein H-tech springs and I think SSK0771 has them, too.
Click here to see how sc430 with Tein H will look like.

The ride is almost like stock with .8 inch lowered in the front and 1.03" in the rear.
If you don't want to spend lots of money, I would definitely recomend it plus it is pretty much impossible for you to find Tein CS right now.

I also have Tein CS that is still brand new in sealed box and EDFC, but I just don't have time to play with them.
I might later sell these to someone who really needs them more than I do now since both are still sitting in my garage collecting dust.

I love your car talwang! I think that drop looks great. I also have been considering the Eibach Pro Kit or the H&R springs, but so far have been leaning towards the Tein. Of those three, which would you guys recommend? Thanks again.

I need to replace my shocks at the same time, would you guys opt for new OEM struts with these Htech springs or do I need to get something aftermarket given there's a drop. I think they would given its a minimal drop?

Thanks guys! I saw that the swift springs were 3x as much (i paid $100 for 4 new Tien springs) it's been 5k miles since I installed them and I love them!

Makes the ride noticeably smoother and softer.

The only downside is that extra inch has me scraping the engine splash guard to the point that one of the bolts / fasteners has given way and now you can hear me coming down the street in all the wrong ways
