..Am i paranoid?..

So i installed my springs, S-techs, about 2 weeks ago and I'm waiting for them to settle in order for me to get an alignment, i was told 3 weeks,.. and it seems that the rear is a tad lower than the front... is that normal? or does it just seem lower?

this is how it looks

I can fit about a finger in between the tire and the fender in the rear and a LITTLE more than one in the front.. so what i wanna know is anyone here with suspension had this problem? or does that look normal?.. or is it not settled yet?

It could be that your car is sitting on a weird angle. But I have eibach springs on mine and my rear look way lower than my front. Don't worry bro everything is fine. They should have settled by now. I was told by my shop come see me in a week after they have settled.

i mean the spring mount mod is supposed to lower the rear even more correct? i don't really need that lol. I think it's all settled by now, but still i though the front would be lower...

Did you put the front in the front? the rear at the rear?

did you use the G's or 350Z's because we weigh more in the back so the 350Z should be lower in the back....

but it looks pretty good to me. maybe sell yours and get G lowering springs if they are 350Z's

Well... i ordered G springs... noobish questions.. is there any way to find out exactly? cuz i read the instructions in the s techs box and it doesn't even say G, it just lists a bunch of cars it's compatible with.

lol both springs fit right in the nudges, i even took out the tire today to get a better look at it and it all fit right in. the tall skinny ones are in the front with "tein" and a bunch of number written across. and the short fat ones in the back.. am i correct? i looked at it and i tried to see if it was the spring mount or something but everything fit right in and was in tight. the things that blows me is that the passenger rear is just fine, it's the rear driver side that's a tad lower.. or is it just the driveway slope?
