If you are gonna run the stock wheels I'd say the S-Tech's and H-Tech's would be fine. I have the S-Tech's and my tires rub so I'm going with H-Tech's til I get some cash flow for some Tein Flex or some Cusco's.

That't cuz he drives an OZ and not an EVO!!! I like the S-tech...but I don't have them...and god knows I don't have the cash for the flex's! If you do...I'd do the flex dampers!!!

What size tire you have on your GTU's? I have 18 X 8.5" CE's with 245/40's and they rub under hard cornering with the S-Techs. I ordered the H-Techs and I"m gonna see if I can get away with the 245's. If not, I guess I"ll be buying some tires.
