I just got my g a couple months ago and im finally ready to get my lowering springs im trying to decide between h&r springs and the tein s techs my g is my daily driver so i dont want a setup that will eat through tires and my college campus has alot of speed bumps so i cant go to low both drops look great id just want to go with the higher one of the two for my own sanity so which spring is lower the tein or the h&r's if you have any suggestions on a different spring that would eliminate all wheel gap allow me to make it into my college and wont chew threw my tires please let me know and include pics THANK YOU
*pic for attention*

 

Get the Tein Basis Z coilovers, you can get just the drop you want and the price on them is only a couple hundred more than either of those springs, that's what I would do.
FWIW the H&Rs always drop lower than what they advertise.

 

thanks i looked into doing that but alot of people told me that the max drop on those coils are still really high

 

but its definitely still an option i just want to see more pictures of those coils and see how low they can actually go

2.2" drop in front 1.8" in back for their recommended range and can go another 1.5" lower in front and a 1/2" lower in back.
The lowest settings in the recommended range will get you to zero fender gap, from my experience I wouldn't go lower than that. Daily driving any lower is a PITA and your Y-pipe and other undercarriage parts will thank you.
Here's my Y-pipe when I was at 25.75" to the fender (about a 2.5" drop)

 

You may want to consider the Eibach springs, a lot of guys run them on this forum and love them. They are a real nice look especially for daily driving and cut the wheel gap. You can maintain ride quality and don't have to flinch as much around speed bumps and pot holes.

Also something to consider is the lower you go with a spring the more stress it'll put on your stock shocks which may cause premature wear. If you have AWD there isn't much to do as far as aftermarket shocks if you have RWD you could get a nice set of Koni's but by the time you get those and spring it'll cost as much as a nice set of coilovers.

 

Depends where you live. If you live in Florida like me, Tein S techs won't scrape or touch anything at all. I'm monster truck height compared to how low people daily drive here. But with S techs or H&R you WILL need atleast rear camber arms. I'm still at -2.0 camber all around and toe in spec all around. Eat's a very little amount of tire, not bad but still does.

 

thanks for all the feedback guys and @xnick101 yeah i do live in florida about an hour away from you in groveland how many miles do your tires usually last?

 

+1 on what brad said.

If you want a mild drop you should go with swift or eibach springs. + you wont need camber kits and your stock struts will last a lot longer. If you want to go lower than go with Tein Basis Z coilovers.

 

Front tires are at 20,000 miles and still going but are pretty low at this point, rears tires I change every 10,000 or so but that has more to do with me doing launches. I'd say about 13,000 miles on the rears even with camber kits.

 

Once again depends on your roads. I've been on Tein S techs for 20,000 miles now and the ride has not changed and my springs aren't sagging. I will say though the S techs are not as comfortable as the stocks.

 

Yeah, I don't think any aftermarket suspension setup will be as soft/comfortable as the OEM. The Tein Basis Z spring rates are softer than other coilovers and the mild Tein H Techs IIRC have the closest to OEM rates.

 

I had H techs on for a couple weeks, they ride almost exactly like factory. Loved those, but had to sacrifice to go low.

 

Eibach Pro Kit for the win if you're set on springs and not coilovers.

 

I have S. Techs and I love them. That being said, I did buy Tanabe rear springs to raise the rear up a bit. I cant really say how they feel compared to stock since I pretty much bought them instantly after buying the car, they feel very comfortable.
