Tein S-Tech question

Hey guys,

I was wondering why Tein S-Techs drop our car 1.3" in the front and 1.4" in the back. Does this end up making the front of the car aim a little upwards? Or did our car slant downwards towards the front to begin with? Any answers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks peepz!

I have the S-Tech on my car right now. I always thought it droped our cars 1.5 all around. I dont notice an imbalance in hight from front to back. Its even all around. The teins leave a noticable gap in the front though. You can still fit almost 3 fingers in on the front and less than 2 fingers in the back

You will receive an even drop on either the Neuspeed or the Tein. I think you will be happier with the amount of drop with the Neuspeed however.

Thanks for the replies guys. I went with the Teins because I really don't want a big drop. I had an EK hatch before and it was way too low for me (although it had a kit on it). Also, I have a lip kit on my coupe that i'd like to avoid scratching. Thanks again!
