garageXTi Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hello all- Forst post, and I have a question about springs... From my research on here, it seem slike the tein H-Tech is the spring for me. However, finding a dealer that has these readily available is another issue. I'm in a bit of a time crunch (need these by October 1), so is there a good alternative to the H-Tech out there? Heck, maybe someone even knows a vendor that may have the H-techs in stock? thanks for the help, Legba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th3Franz Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Swifts or pinks are also good. Just don't get a spring that lowers the car too much. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieRU Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I just installed a set of JDM GT springs with JDM Spec B Bilsteins and couldn't be happier. The car is not lowered, but is stiff and handles great. The steering is much improved. The car feels like a RWD now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garageXTi Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 thanks guys. I may try to pick up a set of H-techs first. If not, the Ion's seem pretty decent for the $$. TDC - PM sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottybuckeye Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'm about to install some iONS sport spec springs. Will this cause any warranty issues if I get my oil changed at a Subaru dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdw Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I just installed a set of JDM GT springs with JDM Spec B Bilsteins and couldn't be happier. The car is not lowered, but is stiff and handles great. The steering is much improved. The car feels like a RWD now. Can I ask where you got the stuff and how much it was? Any idea how the JDM GT springs compare to STI Pinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm about to install some iONS sport spec springs. Will this cause any warranty issues if I get my oil changed at a Subaru dealer? Warranty on stock shocks and sturts, yes, maybe even things like rubber suspension pieces, but not much else. If you blow your motor they cannot deny warranty cause of springs. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

VTGT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I remember reading a thread that said your struts would be almost shot after 25000 miles riding on H-tech or similar spring. How much are struts and shocks when and if they need replacement? I keep debating whether i should get a nice set of matching sways or just get some h-techs or ions.

Jack at iON said you'd get about 10-15% loss of strut life. But it all depends on how you drive and what types of roads. In the end there is always a trade off for performance. You can't have it all. An 80,000 mile tire lasts a long time, but it usually performs like total crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I keep debating whether i should get a nice set of matching sways or just get some h-techs or ions. I did iONs first. Huge improvement over stock. Front end dive gone...rear end squat nearly gone. Car was much more comfortable to drive. Stock the car has too much power for the stock suspension. Sways just fine tuned things for me. With the springs I still had some body roll, not nearly like stock, but I wanted it gone. Cusco sways did it for me. Car is very flat now. For the price I have been very please and would never go back. I may have tryed coilovers, but I don't autox and didn't want to dump $1,500+ on them. iONs + Cusco = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Anybody know how much the h-tech or other springs affect strut life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
