Re: Tein S Tech
Not to second guess you or anything, but are you sure it wasn't the H Techs? The S-Techs only lower your car 1.5-1.8", I'm not sure how that can be harsh, even on stock struts. I had Ebay coilover sleeves on my EK back in the day, and that was HARSH because I slammed it on stock struts and it had no strut travel.

Nope it was the S Techs. The S Techs are Tein's "aggressive" drop spring and the H Tech's offer a better ride quality but don't lower as much. I'm just giving my opinion, not trying to get you to change your mind or anything.....just sayin.

Re: Tein S Tech
Yeah, you're right, the S-Techs are Tein's "aggressive" drop spring, but isn't that only compared to their H-Tech which is designed for luxury? I just don't see how 1.5" can be harsh. Maybe harsher than stock, but only comparably. Not trying to start an argument, but like you, merely giving my opinion.

Re: Tein S Tech
You do know that not only does the ride height affect the ride, but spring rate too? I have no clue what the spring rate is for the S-Techs, I'm just saying that while 1.5" might not be that much the spring rate might suck...lol.
Edit: Every review that I speak of came from Subaru owners.....so it could just be shitty on Subaru's....lol, in that case you should be fine.

no one with a lexus really has anything that great to say about them either, especially since the front is usually higher than the rear on ISes

Re: Tein S Tech
I installed the S Techs. I love them. The ride quality is close to stock, but just a little stiffer. It's not too low, but definitely noticeably lower. I can fit about 2-2.5 fingers in the well, as opposed to my whole fist.
