loading the springs??

hey guys, i just installed my s-techs and i followed the instructions on loading the front springs by leaving the a arm bolts loose in the front until i set the car back on the wheels. the front looks great.....

the back however looks still a bit high. are you suppose to load the back springs also? the only major bolt i removed in the back was one control arm and i tightend it before i set it back down. could that be the cause?

I have the same and installed myself. You just need to preload the front. Note that the rear is only a .5" drop with the S-Techs. Also that within a month or so it will settle and be a bit lower.

Just in case anyone asks, my sig is not real.
