Anybody have any feedback on these? I want to be able to drive my Vibe without having to go around speed bumps or without having to worry abouut going up driveways. I heard the drop is about 2 inches. Please help! It is between these or the Eibach pro kit.

Tein S-techs lower more then the Tein H-techs. I chose H-techs cuz i was worried Id bottom out on speedbumps and such.in my signature at bottom of this post you can kinda see how much Tein H-techs lower (18 inch wheels/tires)Tein S-techs lower even more, i chose H-tech cuz i still wanted clearance for trailer hitch and was worried mud guards would rub too much even though i took off the mud guards eventually anyways (rubbed on big speed bumps, etc.) Tein H-techshttp://

www.tein.com/products/s_tech.htmlsearch around on ebay and online for best price usually around $150also dont forget about how you are going to install the springs after you purchase them because it can be quite time consuming and expensive.I was lucky enough to have Keithvibe help with mine.

i think both the s tech and eibach pro kit advertise a 1.5" drop. i've got the s techs and love them. i don't bottom out on speed bumps (of course i go slow over them) and the ride is nice.

http://www.tein.com/price/pontiac.htmlPer websiteS-techs lower>>> Front -2 inches Rear -1.9 inchesH-techs lower>>> Front -1.4 inches Rear -1.3 inchesi would think it vary slightly with each user depending on if you carry large items or have subs in back, when i had two 10 inch subs in back you could see the car wasnt sitting even, now that i have just one 2 and a lighter box the cars much more even IMOalso the springs usually take a couple of weeks to settle

I love my S-techs and I haven't scrapped anywhere the drop was only 1.5" It's really not that dramatic, but the difference in handling is.
