dude did your buy your springs off ebay by any chance? Because that is what the counterfit s techs should look like installed. The car should not be that tucked in the rear at all. Look at the other black G on here with the S techs.It is not that low in the rear.... I hoped you didnt get jacked for fake ones my man.

I just find it odd that the other cars using the S techs dont have the same drop in the rear you do. Did the shop include the silencing rubber's? Did you install them also. If not that could be the reason for that dramatic effect in the rear. I ordered a set of S techs for the time being so but made sure i have the silencing rubbers included. So we will see...

To be hones unless you know the people I would stay away from any tein S techs from ebay. There is a whole thing right now on www.tein.com about fake S techs on ebay....

The ride quality is still good?!?! Wow.

I think the rear camber is what is making everyone a little nervous. That would cause some gap between the fender and the tire. I bet if you had a rear camber kit (which probably would be a good idea for you), the wheels and tires would sit more flush in back.

BTW ... some of that rain would sure be good down here!

I changed my mind about Tein S after seeing how much rear sagged compared to the front. It seems that rear dropped by 2" and front only dripped by 1" or so.

Yes i did the install myself i did not modd anything at all. the car does tuck in the rear but its not as extreme as it looks like in the picture. the car has a perfect rake the car does not sit lower in the rear at all the car is perfectly level with a slight rake. the springs went in with no problems what so ever.
