Tein S-Techs on Winning Blue Installed
Just thought I'd post up some pics of my blue after my weekend install of tein s-techs springs. My friend Danny helped me with the install, mucho thanks to him. I think I'm finally done with mods!! Unless you all can think of something else.. ENJOY

Something doesn't look right, your ride height looks stock if not lifted a bit. I've got S-Techs and the front is much lower than yours. Look how much gap you have in the front in that first pic. I have about 1 fingers width in front. Sorry to rain on your parade, but I would guess that some bolts were tightened with the suspension unloaded.

did you lower the car before tightening some of those bolts down? (looks a bit high, as if you didn't pre-load)

Yea, the springs haven't been preloaded yet. I'm waiting on my friend so that I can borrow his torque wrench to do so. I just thought I'd take pics cuz it was a nice day out. It has settled a little. I can tell because the front is completely even with the rear at this moment. Also my tires are lower profile than stock. BTW, the first 2 pics are before pics in case that makes a difference.

oh ok. It really won't settle until the full weight of the front of the car is on the springs though. But i'd say it'll take way less than a week, couple days max.

Yea, my front needs to hurry the hell up! Getting a little impatient here :P
Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get my hands on a torque wrench to undo the upper control arm. Did you do the install yourself Aipex8?
