Tein S-techs on 05 *pics*

I just put some Tein S-Techs on my 05 coupe. It has dropped it nicely and still maintained a comfy ride. These are the only pics I have now due to the constant rain we have had here so I will get some over all pics of the car soon hopefully.

I dunno if anyone really cares or not for a post of this kind but when I was studying springs I wanted a lil more tecnical or visual help on my decisions. Hopefully these pics will help other people trying to decide on springs.

Front before and after.



Rear before and after

Those springs will sag even more after a while though but thanks for the comparison photos. I'm sure they will help some with decision making. I'd be interested to see the drop after say a month with more pictures.

Drive around for about 3 weeks to let the springs settle a little more and get
an alignment done. will drive even better. Is that the coupe springs or
the 350Z ones?

I just noticed this, but are the 05's rotors that small on the MT models too?

They are the coupe springs.

Im not sure I understand your second question but my car is an MT and the rotors are almost 13 inches in diameter.
