I have the S-techs and they settled a little too much for me. I'm going Hotchkis the next time around.

Searching is your friend. If you can take a corner hard enough to blow a shock, maybe you shouldn't be driving?

A few minutes of searching will probably turn up no less than 100 threads about S-tech & H-tech springs.

what do you mean they settled too much...you want more of a nasty gap? I have the Eibach prokit with 1" drop and it's perfecto.

Joel, I got your PM. Here's my response for the benefit of others (that search).

I have 20s and I get rubbing when I go over bumps and turn my wheels at the same time (like turning into a gas station with a curb). I haven't bottomed out on anything yet, including railroad tracks and some of the largest speedbumps I've ever seen. Ride is great, if not better than stock. The ride feels smoother and quieter but that's more than likely due to the Falken FK452s that I'm running. The grip with thise tires is great. Hope this helps.

As far as settling too much,
1- I'm trying to reduce the gap but I want it even all the way around the wheels. When I first installed them it was perfect but after they settled, there's more gap on the sides than on the top of the front wheels. I know.. I'm a stickler.
2- As mentioned above I get slight rubbing under certain circumstances... just a bit annoying.

Funny thing is I searched and checked with two other members that had the same wheel/tire combo that I bought to ensure there was no rubbing and they didn't have any, yet I do. I have the feeling it may be different for 06 vs. pre-06.
