If you look, the front fender is cut higher than the rear one. It looks like its lower in the back but it sits even. I saw that too but the rear tires are tucking like they should.

That looks good. What size rims are those, 17s? The drop makes it look super-clean!

I have Tech 5 springs and they're as cheap as the progress springs with the same drop. I have some rear wheel tuck but its not bad. The ride is ok...a little more bumpy. Im sure that until I put new shocks in its gonna be a little more bumpy than it was.

My rear is lower than the front but our rear fenders are smaller than the front so sometimes is looks off.

better get some new struts!!! Cause your gonna blowem! i guarantee that in 2 months youll be posting!"" blew my struts in the rear WTF?" I have told many people that those springs are $hitty and that they have a bad tendency to settle weird ! But you will blow your struts!! And if you dont have people in the rear of your car why did you buy a sedan??? JUST wondering? Dakota

looks bad. why would anyone like that squatty look? The only lowering springs worth buying are Neuspeed and H&R because the engineers are actually intelligent about the design. The springs lower the front more than the back to achieve equal or very close to equal gap between tire and fender well. Coil-overs would be the best because the car can be perfectly adjusted.

Take back these Tech 5 springs and get something that will make your sedan look like it was properly lowered.
