Installed Tein S. Tech on Sedan

I just got my Tein S. Tech springs installed yesterday on my sedan but the rear is really low and there is no gap between the tires and the fender. On the front end i can still fit two fingers. It looks weird. Is it because i have 2 12"subs with 2 amps at the back? what can i do to raise up the rear?

yes.. most springs out on the market are designed for coupes... since the wieght distribution is different on the sedans than on the coupes.. thats why you get teh sagging... but try a camber correction kit first see if that clears anything up..

only thing u can do is get koni's for the rear. u can adjust the purch and ur springs will sit higher.

Thanks 4 all ur advices. Im runnin on my stock shocks by the way. I'll prolly get the koni for my rears so it'll sit higher but then if it'll cost too much i might just get the neuspeed sports.

PicCoLoboi02 is on a distinguished road
i had the same problem with my old set of springs (Tanabe) but that was because it was meant for Coupes and i didn't know (stupid ebay). I have Goldlines now and it's a perfect drop.
