wtf. htechs seem awfully low
ive had htechs on my car for over a year now on stock struts. i just installed koni yellow front struts and i noticed the tech that installed my springs didnt cut the bump stop, so i cut about 2" off. now, i swear my car is lower. its dayum near tucking my 18x8 225/40s
WTF!? are my springs shot or is this normal height for htech guys? im also rubbing the inner liner more on bumps on the stiffest settings, figure that was bc i cut the stop. seems they are sagging or something. my buddys s-techs seem about this low. im about to install my rears struts and hotchkis sway bars but if ,my springs are effed im going to get new springs and kill it all at once.

that looks about right! maybe a tad lower then mine, the bumpstops wont cause them to go lower since they only prevent the shock from bottoming out, it is possible that the konis have a shorter strut body causing them to look lower, did you compare stock strut next to koni strut?
heres mine on 18x7.5 with 225/40

Chico, your's doesn't look anywhere near as low as his. I saw a tC with H-techs today for the first time in person, and it looked just like Chico's stance. But your's Flint...is low.

only way i could see them sitting lower is if the koni shock was shorter then the oem shocks
