thanks bandit
and whats up with all the posts of the s-techs with the drop not coming out even?

i really dont want that happening after i spent the mone to buy the sprinsg however i will get it done by a pro

 

From all the S-tech pictures I have seen only one has looked uneven, and im thinking it was because he had JUST put them on. Once you let them set for about 500 miles they should be good. Post up some pictures when your done...I never get sick of seeing dropped tC's.

 

its not going to be even
the front will sit lower than the rear, it happens
it does not look bad, thats how it is
if you get shocks, it will drop the front and rear some more, but will bring the rear down a tad more

 

Looking sweet bro . That's the first time i've sen it since you put them on.

 

why not just get shocks with the springs? it'll be easier when you install them to just throw the stechs on the konis.

 

showstoppersusa.com has them for a good price with free shipping.

 

I would personally recommend getting a camber kit. I realize that everyone here says you don't need one but there is definately such thing as too much negative camber. S-techs easily provide that. You would only need the front kit however as the real has enough adjustment. Also camber will eat up a tire much faster than toe. So if you like buying expensive tires frequently then buy all means don't go with a camber kit. Also you can ask for a little negative camber for handling if you wish, however hunter alignment racks are setup to give a little front negative camber to compensate for the rear and provide better handling in corners. Also ask your alignment tech if they use the wintoe feature as it is by far the best and easiest. I gave my tc about 2 minutes extra on the left and dead on on the right to compensate for my camber.

 

hey 06Xtc
what off set are you running on your rims cause it thought that 18x8 with a 40 series tire will rub with s-techs
sweet ride though really clean

 

The offset is +38 and yes some rub happends with the 40 tires. But I try and stay away from 35 tires due to where I live (streets are bad). I rolled my fenders and all rubs gone.


Heres another pic for u punkInDmas...

 

punkInDmas, clever.

I'm still not impressed, I own the same thing.

I hope I'd be driving something else when my middle-age crises comes around.

 

anyone know of any other brand that lowers the tc lower than 2.0" on the rear. i want it lower just in the rear but cant find no brand out there with less than 2.0" thanks.

 

The only way you're gonna get lower is with coilovers.

 

I was thiking maybe putting some weight back there

 

just get coilovers. if you want something that low, you'll end up saving money in the end anyway since your shocks will go much faster. save yourself the time and install time. plus, it's easier to install coilovers than springs/shocks

 

True, I guess Ill start putting some more money aside on the turbonetic s account.

Sorry if this is off the topic, but my rear seems to be very low on s-techs.like you can't see the top of the tire.
Not sure if that's normal, i do have the kaminari fiberglass spoiler(and an alpine system in the trunk) would that be the cause





Doesn't worry me too much just wasn't sure if it looked ok bagged or not...
thanks if anyone helps me out.

 

i think your car is broke

 

That's all the added weight he has on the back end of the car. Those shocks are gonna be toast very soon.

 

nahman i was kiddin, im good friends with him. i was just bustin his *****
