[tx03coupe]

dropped with the s tech springs. 2.0f 1.2r. gives me nearly as good a ride as with the stock springs. i love it.

[TexGuy]

must be the lighting of the camera and the dark wheelwell, because I cant see that much of a drop. Where do you get your Teins from?

[Bri]

How much drop was it? It still seems a bit high...

[adamkim83]

i thought teins dont come out until like 2 more months?

Nope, they've been out. I think you're thinking of the full suspension kit.

You can get the S-Tech springs on eBay for pretty cheap: click here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33582&item=2463358372).

[vsmack]

I haven't dropped my car and it looks kinda like urz? Are u sure u posted the right PIC's?

[Monoxide Child]

It's definitely dropped, there's no question about that, but it doesn't look nearly as low as -2" in the front. It looks more like an Eibach Prokit drop or the Honda Factory Performance drop, which, I believe, is -1" drop in the front.

Does anyone know if Tein's settle? I hope so :(

[sandwiches]

Very subtle drop, are you using the stock shocks?

[POS_Hatchback]

my tien Htech's look lower than that:confused:

Agreed, from your pics, I can see a definate drop, but from tx03coupe, cant really tell. :confused:

True!!..can't wait to get them for mine.

POS, how's the ride do you have camber kit or aftermk shocks? If not is the car sufficent without? Thanks

[tx03coupe]

i went to the tein site with pics of the accord v6 with the s tech springs and that car is way lower than my drop. that other car also has bigger rims and i'm just on the stock 7 spoke 16's. i gotta figure out what's going on here! :argh:

[DeezNutz972]

looks like the prokit maybe a lil higher in the front

tx03coupe where in texas are u located?

[NightShift]

hmm, i dunno it def looks dropped, but not as much as the photos on teins' website :gotme:

[NightShift]

p.s. - how much for install?

[tx03coupe]

well people, i think the springs needed a little time to settle. after having had them for several days now they look much closer to the pics on the tein site. yes i am positive i bought the tein s-tech springs just in case someone thought i might have bought the wrong ones accidentally. i'll try and take pics tomorrow to show you all how much better the drop is now.

Deeznuts-lol, what a screen name. only an aggie...j/k. i'm about to join the so cal chapter though b/c work is out there for me.

edit: install was $85 from my local rice rocket shop. took about 1 1/2 hours.

After seeing those, i'd want the h techs cuz the s techs would seem really low, but after seeing tx03coupe's s techs, im thinkin thats not low enuf :confused:

So yeh, waitin for those "settled" pics tx03 :D

[tx03coupe]

alright man i'm gonna go take them right now. they look very similar to this gold colored accord, but i said i'd do it so give me just a minute.

[tx03coupe]

ok here's the newer pics. still not as low as on the tein site, but improved over the first set of pics.
http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4287529025

[2spEeDautO]

The lowering looks better, but hows the handling?

[NightShift]

nice, when u get a chance get a direct side shot to compare with the first one. So the ride is just a bit stiffer than stock?

[tx03coupe]

yah it's just a little bit stiffer than stock. it's not uncomfortable at all though. NOTHING like your friends civics that throw you around on every little bump. trust me you will still like the ride. i actually prefer the difference because i can feel the road better. they are cheaper on ebay though. one thing i should say though is that i WILL need a camber kit from this drop. the front doesn't look bad really but the back does need some help.
oh yah, someone asked me where i got these. i had my rice shop order them directly from tein.

[NightShift]

ut oh, camber...something i dont understand - do u think the h techs would require a camber adjustment?

[tx03coupe]

the h-tech springs drop the v6 down 1.4 in the front and 0.7 in the back. i dont think you'll need a camber kit. the full kit from spc costs about $270 on www.nopi.com so take that into consideration. you can just buy the front or back if you only need half the kit, which is cheaper of course. i dont know how much cheaper.

[bigBEN CM6]

POS_Hatchback... is there any signs of suspension noise from the TEIN springs?

[NightShift]

tx03 ~> could you do me a favor and take a straight on side shot, at least one with the wheels straight? Im def. planning on getting these and like to see how it settled.

[S.A.M6]

This is what the H.tech look like

[rpgonzalez]

sorry, my bad. I meant on the coupe. for some reason the sedan looks like its lower stock... like you said, your htech looks lower than tx's stech. I attribute that to comparing apples to oranges. I meay be wrong!

But one thing POS.... have you felt a perceived difference in weight distribution? The accord is already front heavy enough, I suspect dropping the front more would accentuate this :confused:

[NightShift]

tx03coupe - if you look at your car at the same angle, does your drop look lower than that of the sedan posted in this thread?

[kpdoughboy]

I just finished lowering my car today. Man it was a b#$&%. Neways the car looks and rides good. Its still pretty smooth but feels kinda bumpy when theres dips in the road. I installed the tein S-Tech by the way. I would say its like a 2 finger gap, its a very subtle drop. Looks pretty much like tx03coupe's pictures. Ill try to post some pictures asap.

is that a guess or are you sure? hehe i wanted htech too since the my asss is already beginnin to sag witout the springs.. looks so annoying sometime :)

[unrealcpu]

i think i am going with the comptech springs.

Eventually all springs sag lower so i think comptech is a good choice now

2 finger gap...subtle drop:confused: Right now stock my front is almost 5-finger:eek: How is 2-finger sublte LOL.

Plus I heard that tein is garaunteed not to sag more than 5mm/0.2" and springs need to settle as well so initaully when you put them on they'll need .5" drop or so to settle.

[NightShift]

yeh, how is 2 finger gap subtle??

we need some pics! :smash:

[unrealcpu]

i am going with comptech and then switching over to coil overs at 50k miles

[josephip]

Maybe he has fat fingers :ssh:

Anyway, I got my Tein S Tech's yesterday but havent installed them yet. I WAS looking at the paperwork though, and it says you are supposed to cut the 'bump rubber' by 0.6 inches in the front. Could it be possible that on tx03coupe's car the shop didnt cut the rubber piece for the front springs and that is why the car doesnt seem as low as it should?

[Curry619]

Anyone tried H&R or Neuspeed race springs?

[rpgonzalez]

nicer drops, but apparently alot stiffer and more uncomfortable. Sometimes this is a :nono: when trying to pimp :D

[kpdoughboy]

Here are pix of my car on S-Techs and I did cut the bump stops .6 when i was installing them.

[josephip]

Looks nice :) can't wait to get mine installed!

[kpdoughboy]

josephip,

Are you gonna do the install yourself because i have the dealership installation guide for the HFP sport suspension on pdf if you want. PM me your email and i can send to you.

[josephip]

:gotpm:

Thanks :)

[rpgonzalez]

that just does not make any sense. Now, on both coupes, the front looks higher than a sportline drop. Does eibach measure things differently? Do the springs sag more beacuse the eibachs are softer? That drop look like a prokit drop on the front to me...
I must be just crazy :/

[NightShift]

Where are you guys ordering your s techs? And are they in stock?

[josephip]

eBay :)

[kpdoughboy]

I got mine from my local motorsport store.

[EXV603]

kpdoughboy that drop looks pretty good. I was wondering if you could take a side pic of your car at a lower level.
Also, how much did you pay for those springs.
thanks.

[kpdoughboy]

here is your pic and I paid around 130 out the door.

Nice drop... anyway... where is that store located? I am about to order one for me for $150 but would be nice if I can get it cheaper hehe. (I dunno why but I4 spring is a bit more expensive than V6 spring.) :mad:

[kpdoughboy]

Honestly, i think you would get the springs cheaper on ebay cuz im cool with the people at this motorsport store so i dont think they would quote you the same price. I think they would normally charge 180 to 200 for the s-techs.

[unrealcpu]

do you need a caber kit? and a front allighnment?>

[kpdoughboy]

umm...i dont think ill need a camber kit for the front but the rear butterflies a bit. Ill probably get a camberkit for the rear when i have money and i get rims. As far as alignment i dont have money for it rite now and im lazy. im sure ill get it sometime...just dont know when.

Get me the number or address please though :o
So I can ask at least :)

[kpdoughboy]

Itz island motorsports in Buena Park. their number is 714-522-7457

[NightShift]

Some of the bids say "....V6 4cyl..." :confused:

"Tein S-Tech Springs Honda Accord V6 4CYL 03+"

[kpdoughboy]

maybe it means it fits both V6 and 4cyl. You could probably check the tein website to find out.

[Eccen]

Tein has different application for V6 and I4. Part # is different and lowering height also is different. I4 S-tech lowers front about .1 inch less than V6 and .1 inch more on the back.

It is always the best to stay away from those vague bids :) Sellers don't know what they are selling :p

[rpgonzalez]

doughboy.. do you agree with the author of this thread that the ride is almost like stock? How is that ride without aftermarket shocks?

also, if you brake hard into corners, do you think that the nose feels heavier with the different weight distribution?

[kpdoughboy]

I would have to agree with the author that the ride still does feel stock. Only thing I notice different is that the car is prone to bounce more when goin highspeeds over those slight depressions in the freeway. I dunno if you know what im talking about or not. But the ride really is smooth as if it were stock. Handling is alot better now. Alot less body roll. As far as the front feeling heavier when i stop....I think ill have to check that. Actually when i think about it, i think it does. I noticed stopping feels a bit funnier lately but wasnt really too signigicant of a change for me to think about it until your post. Sometimes i feel like i have to brake harder than normal. Not really a big problem though. But ill i have to check on that.

[NightShift]

You dont think I would have problems with s techs and the front lip? Im thinkin speed bumps, entering my inclined driveway...

[kpdoughboy]

I dunno....i think you might. I talked to honda_girrrl and she has the oem front with coilovers at a 2inch drop in the front and she said she scratches. I hope i dont scratch cuz ill be puttin on a carbon fiber front bumper on soon.

[NightShift]

So it should prolly go like this: either S-Techs with *no* front lip, or H-Techs *with* front lip...u think it would have to be that way?

[kpdoughboy]

I dunno man....its all up to you. Personally I figure i will scratch but i still got the s-techs. I think h-tech is too high. Also i dont think its as bad scratching the oem lip cuz its made out of a polymer. And if you scratch i dont think youd see it cuz it would be on the bottom. Thats just my opinion.

[rpgonzalez]

yeah, but when I had a 350z the scratching is invisible but it was still soo annoying and makes you feel bad and then everyone looks at you like your abusing your car. But thats just being nit picky!

[NightShift]

Damn, well i just installed my front lip today, and when backing out of my driveway the lip has about 2" clearance from the ground...and thats with no drop :(

[rpgonzalez]

im going htech myself. Like I said, I had a 350z and I scraped everyday on something, curb, parking thingy, driveway.. and one time there was this brick on the freeway and I had no choice but to go over it and the Z got f*cked up. It totally shoulda cleared with a normal car. Even some high speed bumps would scrape. No thanks, ill pass on that drama this time... the htech drops 1.4 in the front anyway, and thats enough to make the 4x4 look go away at least!

[tmtran44]

Got my TEIN H-Tech Springs (1.2 F and .7 R) installed on Friday..... Awesome. Sorry no pics yet.
After the drop: 2.5 fingers gap in the front and back. the drop is very even. the comfort is very similar to stock...98% like stock....just a little be stiffer...cornering is awesome.

For those who wants:
1. even drop
2. not too low
3. don't want to drop
4. most importantly...comfort

Get TEIN H-Tech...You will be very sastisfied!

[NightShift]

Does anyone know of any other place online to purchase the H-Techs that will top this?

Subtotal: 156.00
Shipping: 33.73
Tax: 0.00
Total: 189.73

[tmtran44]

That is a good price. I got mine for $200 2 weeks ago.

[ViciousLau]

What does a camber kit do???


and how come you guys arent waiting for the coilovers

arent you worried about your stock shocks blowing out??

if you don't mind me asking... where did you order your h-techs from? that seems like a VERY good price. i've seen them anywhere between 200-240 shipped.

ok i'm about 3 seconds from ordering the h techs... first of all is this yahoo place reputable? secondly it says the springs are the same for the V6 4dr and 2dr is this correct?

also, i heard that when u install the springs the back seat has to come out so they can access the strut? is this right?

[NightShift]

Whenever I order stuff I try to find a yahoo shopping (store.yahoo.com) site first cuz they are very reliable. So yes im sure they are reputable.

Yes the number for the H-Techs are SKA52-BUB00, and they are for both the 2 and 4 door Accords.

Dunno how the installation goes...

thanks for the quick replay :)

anyways man if they have to remove the back seat that might be a biach to install :(

[josephip]

I don't think you have to remove the whole back seat, just flip the seat down and remove the shelf thing on top.

[NightShift]

I was talking with my dad about lowering my car with the H-Techs and he tells me i can't do it till the warranty is up cuz if something happens to the car they will blame it on the suspension being modified. And also thinks the ride will be hard as hell. Does anyone have any comments on this?

Correct. That's all that's required as far as removal of any parts are concerned. Once that panel is detached, it reveals access to the nuts that hold the rear shocks to the chassis.

Just go ahead without telling him. Hes not gonna notice it easy. I hope... :p

And... the spring voids the warranty on spring only, plus you are getting 1 year warranty from tein. So... I dunno.

[tx03coupe]

Does anyone have any comments on this?
dear dad,
YOU'RE WRONG! the car still rides like it's on factory suspension. let your son put the drop on!

[Eccen]

I lowered my car with Tein s-tech today. (FINALLY!)

It is DA PERFECT drop height and I'm very satisfied. The car look A LOT better than before and cornering is niiiiiice and ride feel is better than that of stock.

BUT yea... I started scraping my front lip.

Can't do anything though... even at a slightly inclined driveway... I scrape bottom. No one can notice it unless they look underside of the car, but it feels terrible whenever I hear the scraping sound, lol.
I bottomed about 10 times today already... first one from ccauto driveway right after springs are installed. haha. And NO, I didn't drive fast or so. TURTLED on every driveway but still no good.

Since no one can see the scratches on bottom of my lip, all cool :cool: except that I will have to go around whenever I see steep driveway. :o

I love it... Some of SoCal ppl who went the Irvine meet and some other v6p members (relentless-Angelo, LaoSiFu-Robert, and of course VIS GT... - Kevin... at least they saw spring being installed :p) whom I met at ccauto saw it but... I'll post pics tomorrow anyway for everybody.

Sigh...

it was very tough day for me (began the day with a parking ticket and no breakfast, no lunch, driving 500 miles) and would like to say sorry to many people I met today for being... a BORING person.

[relentless]

Eccen, it was nice meeting you today at CCAuto. It was like a V6p meeting at the shop Friday! :) Sorry I couldnt make it, I had to get the DVD/LCD system diagnosed.

[The Sync]

Hey Eccen, does your car have the OEM factory lip and is that why you are bottoming out with the Tein S-Tech springs?

[Eccen]

Sorry guys, i'll post them tomorrow morning fo sho... that is... after washing the car :)

[Eccen]

Just went and took some quick pics.

yes, could you take a pic from the side? Like, dead even side?
Also, when you manage to take a corner real hard, do you notice any nose diving?

thanks!!

ECCEN... the S-Tech drop looks nice... I was thinking Eibach Sportline with 1.9f 1.4r. But that drop is freakin perfect


That drop probably puts you over the top with K series 7th gen

but ill be back...

Maybe b/c I live @ edge of cypress :) I'm near Cerritos / Los Alamitos, and will move to Los Alamitos May 15th... I'm usually on Bloomfield, Katella, Lincoln/Carson around this area.

[rpgonzalez]

thanks for the pics!!!

The only thing I cant decide is that the car looks raked. I might like the prokit look cuz its even height front to back (*except the look of the wheel wells), vs the raked look like all the car in T.J. look. What are your thoughts?

My car does look like it but the shade of side skirts and the fact that I do not have rear lip perceives eye even more.

I think it is pretty much even though.

[The Sync]

Hey Eccen, since i don't have the front lip, and i got the Tein S-Springs, do you think i would bottom out?

I have the prokits and the ride is great, but i dont really like how it looks in the front...for me, it is very obvious that the rear is lower then the front. the tein springs look great. my car looks like eccen, except i have the full kit and racing hart crs...:D

[The Sync]

If i got the Tein S-Springs, how long would my front shocks last before they go out?

[rpgonzalez]

Ive been doing some digging, and my UNCONFIRMED but preliminary findings are that S-tech and H-tech springs are closer to factory spring rates than the Eibachs are.

DO YOU GUYS WITH TEIN feel that the spring rate rate feels pretty much the same... or NO?

If so, then the stok shocks may last last quite awhile!

[Eccen]

I dunno details but I went with tein b/c they are the only one who specified the spring rate on their website and it was affordable. And ya it feels same as stock if not better.

[The Sync]

Hey Eccen, since i don't have the front lip on my '03 accord or body kit, if i got the Tein S-springs, do you think i would bottom out?

[Eccen]

It depends on how you drive I think. I do not bottom as many as the first day. It was horrible on first day or two.

I still do but a lot less than before. Two bad things are...
1. It takes too much time going in and out of a driveway.
2. I have avoid steep driveway.

If you do not have the oem front lip or any other kit... would be a bit better than me I think.

[The Sync]

I just don't want to be driving around on somewhat level ground and just hear my front bottom out. But i don't think i would hit it at all since i don't have the front lip spoiler.

[Eccen]

Oh ya, I don't understand how ppl with lower than mine drives around. :confused:

[relentless]

Hey Andy, your springs settled real nicely! Nice drop!
Your drop is the same as mine practically and you convinced me to get the front lip! :)

[The Sync]

I just don't won't to purchase the wrong size drop springs. So ya'll think i'll be ok with the Tein S-springs?



I was either thinking about going with the Tein S-springs, or the Neuspeed Sport Springs which this one web site says it lowers it 1.5F, 1.0R
http://www.autocarparts.com/part/427/Honda/Accord/V6-EX_LX

[rpgonzalez]

huh? The website doesnt have these listed. Are these supposed to be NEW SOFsport??? The only thing the site shows is sport w/ 1.75f/1.5r. hmmm :confused:

Thats what i was thinking. I don't know where they got the 1.5F 1.0R from.

Oh, ok, so i'll be ok with the Tein S-spring drop since 00&03Accord has a 2.5-3" drop and he has no body kit.

DO YOU GUYS WITH TEIN feel that the spring rate rate feels pretty much the same... or NO?

If so, then the stok shocks may last last quite awhile!

any thing about this?? i would do this if i kno my that my stock shocks will last longer

are those 235/40/18 tires on those wheels? What kind of offset are you using? Do you have any issues with rubbing?

Thanks for the pics, looks awesome.

Yes they are 235/40/18 and 42 offset. no rubbing at all.

thats awesome, I have been talking to several dealers and they have all been telling me that they might rub. Now I know I can go with the 235 versus the 225.

How long have you had them in for and do you think they have settled completely? That looks sick by the way.

After reading this thread, I think I will go for H Tech with stock shocks until they worn out. No money for it now. hehe.

I don't think with H-Techs you stock shocks will wear out very fast. The spring rate is very close to stock and the car rides almost better than stock.
