If i got these two they would fine together right.
HP's
And theseTech
or thesetein
i live in an area were i just want a small drop.

hps are oem replacements. i wouldnt lower on them but if you want to go head

The suspension sticky says they'l be alright and the warranty is for cars lowered up to 1.5 i only realy want an inch but 1.1 or 1.2 should be well in their range. my main question is will the suspension tech springs sag lower?

no the faq does not say they will be ok for lowering

FAQ's wrote:OEM REPLACEMENT struts, are just as that. OEM STYLE replacement struts. Sure some say, valved stiffer etc, but when it boils down to it, they are not valved for lowering. Many have argued that KYB are not oem replacement struts, but if you take a few minutes out of your day and contact KYB AMERICA by phone, they themselves, will tell you that they WILL NOT honor the warranty these struts if on a lowered vehicle. So much for the ability of them to be lowered. Granted some do and have lowered on them for a while, don’t be shocked if yours don’t last long. Generally a strut should last well up to 5 years or more if not abused. But choosing a strut from this category and lowering past 1.5 inches or so, and you are definitely chancing it. If it does blow before time, then that’s more money to spend on new struts, alignment (you will need an alignment after every major suspension component change), and time wasted changing them, or time and money wasted for a shop to do so. These however have proved to be good for springs like the 1.2 inch lowering springs by progressive technologies and stracing. Anything more than that and you are chancing it.

A list of all the OEM style replacement are:

-KYB Gr2’s
-Gabriel VST’s
-Monroe (Sensatracs included)
-GM stock or upgraded suspension packages.
-Tokico HP series

tokico doesnt warranty the hp for a drop. what you are reading is about the gr2 strut. the gr2 strut is warrantied to a 1.5" drop but even still its an oem replacement and shouldnt be lowered on. if you want to lower on hps then go head, no one is stopping you from doing it.

no the tein springs will not sag

And right from the facts and the quote you just made

am i missing something?

They will most likely hold up on the 1.2/1.1 drops but they will probably be maxed out and give you a bit of a "bouncy" ride when traveling over rough surfaces. If it were me, I would probably get AGX's with them. The AGX's will hold up fine on them and they give you adjustibility (which is very nice to have). You can find AGX's on ebay for ~ $340 shipped. Might as well do something "right" if you are going to do it. The HP's and GR2's on lowering springs is kinda half-assing it in my opinion.

thanks thats what i wanted to know. i just wanted a small drop so i thought i would check.
