S.Tech Pictures

So i put the S.Techs on the stock Tokico struts and here is the result. I know that when i was thinking about doing this i didnt find a whole lot of good pictures to show me exactly how the drop would look so i hope this helps someone!

and here is before, same tire size




hope this helps/comments!

oh and btw for comparisons sake, these springs put the front lip (apperance package) a little more than 2 inches lower than a z4 on sports suspension (factory)

looks like you may need to preload the front, looks too high to me.

well considering that the space between the tire and the edge of the wheel well is about 1.5 fingers, i think its the angle of the picture

plus it hasnt really set in all that much, so im assuming a little lower no?
