S.tech's Installed with pictures

[Jgoad2]

Hey guys I installed my S.techs yesterday. It went really smooth, considering I installed some Gr2 and H&R OE sport springs about 3 months ago. The nice thing about the S.techs is that I didn't need a spring compressor to put them on. Here are some pictures from today after a bath.

Pictures are too dark. Can barely tell the drop. Are S-Techs that drop 1.1-1.3?

Considering the stock height of a Civic, I beg to differ. You can definitely tell the drop.
It's 1.9" in the front and 1.7" in the rear. It looks a little lower than that.

I used to rock those, would have to say pretty decent ride quality on them too....but they just wern't low enough for me after a while. Like the dark tint too, but in Illinois you get messed with way to much. Like the ride though, always wanted white.

Thanks man, yeah the tint is 20% perfect imo. I noticed there is alot of people from Illinois here, I was actually born in Arlington Heights and moved to WV when I was 4.

lol you always get those confused with the H-Techs. For a moderate drop, it looks good.

Looks decent with the stock wheels, but with aftermarket wheels you will need to go lower.

Noodler are those 16's? and what size tire are you running?

 

[Noodler]

16s with 205/16/40. they're oem circumference, maybe like 3% off. thats with stock springs.

The wheels look nice. The circumference (205/40/16) compared to OEM (185/65-14) is about 3.2 inches smaller. A 205/45-16 would be as close to stock as possible. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
