Damn, I actually thought about S-tech's before I got my coilovers. My coilovers still have at least 6 threads left to go down and I'm already lower than you.

Don't go any lower, it looks great as-is.

Please, don't listen to this dude. You'll be wasting money by cutting a perfectly good set of S-tech's. They'll handle beautifully but if you really want to go lower, sell your S-tech's to help you at least buy some Megan's or K-sports. Or wait till next year's income tax refund and buy Tanabe's.

Lower but if lower isn't practical for you then I'd say stay at that height. There's not very much clearance under 240's.

i have the same set up in my 92 vert. it looks great with black rims. i definatly would get coilovers, then you can also adjust ride height whenever you want.

I don't know what these other ppl are talking about. Combining AGX's w/ S-Techs on my s13 was EASILY the WORST mod I've EVER done to it. The spring rate/ride quality is absolute sh*t. The drop is pure fail.

Your current setup already looks lower than S techs...Get coilovers. I recommend JIC Magic FLT a1's...

what size are you're rims? I'm thinkin of switching to gr-2's with H tech springs for ride comfort, but those S tech's look pretty high, how do they ride over potholes?

17 inchthey suck with the wheels and tires you can feel every little mess up on the road but when you drive on a good road they are great.. but with the stock wheels they arent as bad.. whats the differance between S and H techs
