Im looking into getting some Tein springs on my 02 lancer ES, anyone here running s-tech or h-tech springs on there ES lancer? I need to know the amount of drop they have. ive searched the net and every place list a different drop for the s-tech and I cant seem to find h-techs

 

I have the H techs on mine. They're a little stiffer and the drop is subtle. It has nice even wheel gap which I like. It's around an inch max on mine.

 

Where did you find the h-techs? I'm having trouble finding them.. I can only find them for the ls oz and RA it seems

 

I have evo 8 front struts on my car so I used the springs from an OZ. I found them on amazon. I think there were a couple places to get the es set on there but I can't remember. Just search the part number you need and I should come up.

 

I have a set of 02-03 OZ springs if anyone is interested ^^

 

i have tein s techs on mine, and the ride is nice, just a tad bouncy but handles a lot better than stock. pretty much eliminates most of the wheelgap.

 

Too bad you don't live closer I have a set of S-techs in my garage right now for a 02-03 Lancer ES. I had them on for about a year and a half and loved them. I just upgraded to full tein coilovers.

 

i agree. its really bouncy. after 2 weeks i was lucky enough to find a bilstein front shocks. the ride is so much better.

 

im not sure the s-tech springs are what im looking for. currently im running H&R lowering springs and all the info I found on them is its a 1.4in drop all the way around, and I need springs that wll actually give me a slight lift since im doing the ralliart 5-lug conversion and want to run the stock ralliart wheel size.. and to run 205/50/16 they are 12mm larger than my current rims of 205-40-17. with my current setup I can fit the 16s up front but I don't think ill have the clearance in the rear. I see the s-techs would raise the rear a touch but im not sure its enough. looks like to h-techs ill have to convert my front struts to oz.

 

I think you would be alright with the H&Rs even after the 5 lug conversion

 

You really think so? my 205/40/17s are really close under the rear right now.

 

coilovers maybe?
