ok guys recently i had s-techs added to my 8 on OEM shocks, i know that the drop is not huge but i was kinda disappointed on it's appearance. my mechanic didn't pre-load the car and now I'm worried that the car is not at the right height level, take a look










let me know if i need to pre-load it please

oh and tires are 245/45/18

thank you

also upon further inspection i saw this on the rear springs:




the rear springs are binding already? they don't even have 1k on them, i know they are progressive springs and they will tend to bind.But, dam that early?

i have asked a couple of mechanics about it and they all don't know how to do that

I would say that the rear just doesn't look preloaded ... the combination of that and them being fresh coils, but something is definitely wrong with the front.

if your mechanics don't know how to preload , then just do it yourself, it's super easy.

also, can't preload the rears. just an fyi

only the fronts can pre-load, and it takes u no more than 15 minutes to do it, thats if u have the right size socket and stuff of course.

the rear ... hmm ... is it installed upside down? dunno, never seen Teins before.
