I'm planning to get a Tein H-Tech for my SJ paired with stock strut.
any thoughts on this combo? is it good for daily driving? and how is the ride quality?

any suggestions would be appreciated even with different lowering springs.

Springs?

Springs?

yup. lowering springs

How much do they decrease your ride height? I assume you will be getting a 4wheel alignment after,...

why do you want to make it harder to change your oil, get the car on ramps, and slow down more for potholes and speedbumps?

@Makingforestergreatagain it will be around 1 inch lower. not really that slammed for me to slow down more for potholes and speed bumps.
i don't think that would be the real issue here.

There are some threads,, search tein for some insight.
I assume you want a harsher ride than stock if it gives you the look and performance you want?

What about larger rear swaybar, poly bushings?

that would be for my next project after this lowering springs.

since you mentioned swaybars, what benefits would a larger swaybar have? I've read somewhere that they tend to use 19mm over the bigger one. why is that

Less body roll, but if too large, on rough pavement it can cause the rear end to skip out.

so what size can you recommend? i'm not so sure if i can get my hands on these swaybars in my country. very limited option I suppose

Best to do a search on the many SB discussion threads...
