uneven drop with tein s.techs, is this normal?
i notice that my car with stock 18's and michelin pilots, when i first got my car done, it was even, about a 1 1/2 finger gap for the rear and front, but after a few days, my back is now lower than the front? is this normal? my back is 1 finger gap now, and the front is 1 1/2 finger gap... sigh the rear is lower than the front, what gives? is it because my rear settled 1st? if so, should i give the front some time to settle a lil and hopefully it'll even out? I know its hardly noticeable, but im picky when it comes to my car... anyone experience the same when installing their s.techs? does driving fast and cornering fast have anything to do with this when i 1st got my car? am i suppose to drive normal to break it in or anything?

It's normal for these cars, no matter the spring, so be off as much as a 1/4" from corner to corner. My car is, the left rear is 1/4" lower. And other's have reported simular variences as well.

To be honest if you are that picky you should look towards coilovers as an alternative setup. Most any spring setup you get will not drop consistently on all four ends when settled.

i've had this experience in the past with my hondas. make sure when you install the springs you put the springs that are slighly taller (due to mfr. variances) on the driver side when you install them as usually those will get the most weight. but I agree adjustable coilovers are probably a better way to go if you want to get that "perfect" look.

Re: uneven drop with tein s.techs, is this normal?
no, the left and right side of the car is even. I'm talking about the front is higher than the back... i think it's because i didn't cut 1 inch off my bumpstops like it said in the tein installation manual... hrmm, but will i be ok w/o cutting the bumpstops, or should i cut them? please help...
if i do happen to cut em, and later on decide to sell my car, where can i purchase the factory bumpstops and how much would it cost around? Thanks.
