Default h-tech help

ok well i have a question, ive searched didnt really find much. well it has been about 2 weeks have put about 300 miles on them since i installed them. but for some reason the rear of the tc still sits pretty high compared to alot of others. i mean is there a problem that could be causing it? or have did they just not settle all the way yet?. or is this the way they are suppose to look? just curious. cause i have a friend that his was even right when his was installed. mine on the other hand lol. here is a pic for ref. the rear just sits a little high still. any input is appreciated thanks.

this pic was just taken today for ref.

Are the springs seated on the perches properly? Like there should be a "slot" of some sort for the tail of the coil to sit in. Otherwise they might sit up a bit higher.

yea i know they are for sure. i made sure of that on each strut when i put them on. i wsa just thinking maybe cause im usally the only person in the car. so no weight on the rear at all. maybe they just havent settled all the way.

^^^^^^^^
Thats exactly what my setup is. the rear is pretty even with the front . though the front looks more like if i was on s techs because the shocks are shorter than the stock ones .

yea i mean the ride on them is awesome i love it. and the drop is perfect just enough for me not to scrape to bad when people are in the car on speedbumps lol. but the ride and drop is perfect. but since this post the rear did drop a finger. i use to be able to get 3 fingers in the rear gap and now can fit only 2 fingers so it has settled some. really lovin it thought. would def recommend these to anyone looking for a nice stance with a great ride. def post up pics would love to see it.

Can you get a closer pic of the rear? Hard to see it. Two fingers sounds about right on h-tech rear wheel gap. Rear will be higher than front, no doubt.
