Lowered on H Tech

Here's some pics! Lowered my car today on some 9th gen Tein H Techs. Drive is pretty smooth too.

Those rear shocks were a bitch to get off though... :P

Edit: Here's a few more pics. :P







That's what I had for dinner last night.

Can certainly see the difference it has made. The springs should fully seat themselves into place after a bit of driving. Nice work

Would you mind taking a shot of your whole car from a front angle? Left or right is fine, I would like to see how low it's sitting with the Tein H-Tech springs after it settles. Thanks!

Your tires are looking they're a little low on air.

It would be much easier to see with side profile pics of the entire car under a sunny spot.

any pics with some better lighting? I am going back and forth on TRD and Tein H Tech's and would love to see a direct side shot (with some better lighting) to see wheel gaps better if possible.

TY in advance!

i agree! S Techs could have done that in the first place. from afar you wont notice a drop with any other spring except the S Techs or coilovers.

I'll try to take some more pics when I go out later today or something. :P

I had the chance to buy S Techs but I decided not to because I'm such a bad driver, any lower and I'll probably lose my front lip already. :P But I def need to get some rims.

These springs are from a 9th gen Corolla, if you're poor like me then buying them used is a very good option because it's cheap and gets good results.

I will either be going TRD or H Tech as I plan on starting a family in the not too future, so will have plenty of junk to weigh the car down and make it look lower, lol.

Yes, I too am in need of some wheels

Yeah you'll probably get another 1/4" to 1/2" drop once they settle. Throw on some rims to fill it out a bit more and you're set to go!
