tein s-tech on our cars w/ pics

any of you guys that have s-tech springs on ur car, is the rear real low? I know the specs say 1.3 front and 1.4 rear, but my car seems ungodly low in the back. i dont have a gap, actually, my fender goes over the tire, but my front looks right. I have 1 1/2 finger gap on the front. for the most part i followed Mex's instructions, plus i changed a couple rsx's and an EP onto teins and they are fine. heres a couple pics, any suggestions or feedback?




and yes, camber kit is on the way

S tech springs are made for coupes.
If you put those springs on sedan.
Tends to sag on rear.

However, I also have Coupe Tein s tech springs on my car.
They are perfectly fine, no sagging on rear.

thats weird, even their site says that its for both ES and EM chassis though. are you saying that made it specifically for the coupe and that it just so happens to work(not perfectly) for the sedan also?

mine was pretty low in the back too...and i have a coupe...
i think it may have been the way i was parked on the hill
now it looks ok but it still kinda seems to low to be 1.4 inches

make sure u get an alignment cuz my toe and camber was waaaaay off. and you'll need a camber kit if u didn't get one already

Can you take a side view picture of your car at front wheel. I would like to see the gap between the wheel and fender to know what is the gap size in reality rather than by finger spacing. By the way what wheel size is that ?Thanks.
