tein s tech ?

yo wuz good, im new so go easy on me. I had a set of s tech put on about 3 weeks now, but it seems like the rear is lower than the front, isnt it supposed to be the other way around, i mean they advertise 1.5 front & .4" rear, its nothing like that, if someone has some info, it would be helpful.

It could be an issue of the springs not being preloaded before installation. Read this thread for more details. Hopefully it helps. Try geting used to using the search function for future questions. Members will get on your back about it.

By the way, the springs might settle in more after another week.

It's actually 1.4" in the front and .7" in the rear, but anyways, you are right, the back should be higher than the front.

ok fellas i preloaded the springs today, it came down alot, the only thing is that the drivers side is a little lower than the other, does anyone think its cuz nobody really sits on that side much, or could it be something else?

^That has been a problem before. Just get and alignment and it should fix it.
