So i put the S.Techs on the stock Tokico struts and here is the result. I know that when i was thinking about doing this i didnt find a whole lot of good pictures to show me exactly how the drop would look so i hope this helps someone!

and here is before, same tire size




hope this helps/comments!

oh and btw for comparisons sake, these springs put the front lip (apperance package) a little more than 2 inches lower than a z4 on sports suspension (factory)

 

damn that rx8 looks sexier than that bmw.

 

Nice shots man. Hate to break it to you though, there are SOME decent S tech pics on here..but a ton of S tech pics on my blog and Altspace's blog. just a heads up.

 

hahah guess i wasnt looking hard enough, oh well whats a few more?

 

This is my favorite before and after pic for the s. techs

 

tire wet ftw?

 

looks like you may need to preload the front, looks too high to me.

 

looks good, its a nice mild drop... its gonna settle too so remember its still gonna go a little bit lower....


btw.. I thought you were coming to the Fuddruckers meet, did you install these instead?

 

^ what he said.

S-techs FTW!

 

yeah i was a little crunched for time since i traveled back up to boston tonight as well but i put these guys on and some other goodies in the AM and traveled in the afternoon, unfortunately i wasnt able to make it out

how was the turn out?

which part? lol

well this is within hours of install, so the springs DEF have not set in yet, when then do its time to open the wallet again for the allignment

spending money FTL!

 

looks good! your front is a bit lower than mine... I definitely need to preload (just installed s-techs too)

 

how come it still looks a little high or is it the angle of the pic?

 

well considering that the space between the tire and the edge of the wheel well is about 1.5 fingers, i think its the angle of the picture

plus it hasnt really set in all that much, so im assuming a little lower no?

 

those tinted corners look really nice.

 

thanks man, 10 mins on each side, 35 percent tint vinyl

my favorite under 5 dollar mod

same on the foglights too btw

 

hey look lowering springs!
