Tien S Tech before / after pics

Just for visual info to show a Tein S Tech drop. Specs are 1.4 inch drop up front and 1/2 inch in the back. Did me good with the 19" wheels cause there off set is a bit more to the out side of the wheel well opening and I was worried about rubbing. But so far with me and my daughter and her freind in the car, (the two of them only total about 190#) normal driving conditions, seem to be ok with no rubbing. Although I will probably have the rear well rolled just for peice of mind.

more..

I'm done now..... I put the springs on my self with the aid of some of the D.I.Y. threads on here, Thank You for those. Like one person on one of the posts said... I also spent awhile during the install admiring the suspension on the car. The install was done in the back yard on the grass with the use of a spring compressor the take the strut assemblies apart after being removed from the car, and then to put the assemblies back together. Was not difficult, but you want the right tools. And be sure to preload the suspension before tightening it back down. :D

I just ordered the same springs and was wondering where everything sits after it settles? I have looked at a few other threads but I can't really seem to draw a good conclusion, do you end up with a bit of a rake? does everything kinda' level out? Are there any really good before/after pics out there that I may have missed? Any info. would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Very nice. Did you wind up putting the spacers in ? Front drop looks perfect. My RB springs are still a little high up front.

looks amazing, and i have a few questions

what are the sizes on those rims?
and how harsh is the ride with the s-techs?
are the 19's givng a noticeable difference in handling from the 18's?

Thanks in advance

How do you like the ride quality? Is there a big difference between stock and those springs with the ride quality?

Is there any camber problems so far? Will an alignment be able to take it out or do you need a camber kit?
