sup guys.. i got my springs installed. 2.4 front, 2.0 rear.

it's been about 3 weeks now.. i didn't get an alignment YET cuz i wanted to wait for it to settle..

does this look right to you guys? or is it just me being picky with an "equal stance"? cuz from observing other peoples cars dropped with s-techs, they looked equal to me even with the front being dropped more than the rear. maybe its the stock wheels/tires that gives me the illusion? i dont know, maybe its just ME. just wanna know your opinions.

heres the picture.. in this link:

haha

its not even, i have s.techs and mine LOOK even but when i measure it, its not. and + i put nearly 50k miles on my S.techs so they are VERY VERY settled

Depends on how you look at it...i dunno, me sometimes in some of my pics they look even but when i see them in person you can tell the frontwards lean. Your eyes play with your head =/

hahaitzskippy, u got nice looking wheels there =]

yours do look even, maybe its cuz of the 35 offset wheels u have?

did it look even with your stocks?

hahaitzskippy

well in that pic, it looks even because its on a slant.

with my stock wheels on it looks uneven

right now, because i have fender flares on, i think thats whats throwing yoru eyes off.

and yes, those wheels are at a 35 offset

i feel mine sits uneven also but i think its just me being picky

i may sound really.. really stupid asking this question but..

if i get an alignment, would it change the appearance of the car at all?

im for sure getting an alignment, i just wanna know. and also, i noticed the rear wheels are angled inwards.. i dont think it looked like that before =P

nope

if yoru wheels dont look lik they are point straight then yes get an alignment before it chews ur tires away

ehh.. will the rear lower later on at all? i believe i've been on stechs for 400-500 miles now.

hupatc77

yes.. the rear will lower a lil bit more.it's only been 400-500 miles..i'd give it close to 1000 miles before the drop settles completely. i run on Stechs..and had to get it aligned twice ..it's been running straight ever since...

My 50lb subs take the rear down .5 inch. Now the rear is a touch lower than the front but it looks geat. So if planning on getting a sub you'll be just fine

Have any of u guys on s-techs or any other springs had prob.s with your shocks yet?

Nerek

Just picked up the Tein S-techs the other day.getting thme install a week from tomorrow ALONG with the kaminari bodykit
you said it would be around 1K miles before they settle completely?

lovemysciontc

cant go wrong with black on black, nice job man!! looks great

happyricefob

looks good

i like the rake you have to the car...

sp0t

haha thats true... i noticed that the tC's that looks even to me have subs in their trunks. Makes me want to put a 50lb. sandbag in the back =P

So is there a big difference in the rear's height when putting subs in the trunk and not? For those of you who have subs on their tC's with s-techs, does my picture look exactly like yours without the subs?

hahaitzskippy

^^^
yes, but then again i have a CF hatch which saves me 75lbs

if u want it lowered, just drive another 15k miles on it like me, i've put 45k miles on my springs and the rear lowered a TINY bit..
