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

Enjoy your boring rims, although nice, they get lost in a sea of silver.

Heres mine...

"S-tech drop, no camber kit, 19x7.5, stock shocks."

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
