I got my car lowered with the TEIN S-Tech this past Saturday. Looks good. Now there is 2 finger gaps on the front and 1.5 at the back. Anyone has any idea how much more will it sag? How long before I should go for the alignment? Thanks.

 

From what I've read between 3 days to a week or so to let them settle completely and get an alignment.

 

From my experience with the S-techs, they will continue to sag as long as you have them. Not much though.

 

I am not sure how much they settle but I hope you pre-loaded the suspension. Maybe your fingers are too small

 

I got it done at a reputable shop so I assumed they did preload it.

As for fingers, haha, ya they are kinda thin.

BTW, this is the best pic that I got. Do you think it's because it's only lowered for 2 days and it hasn't settled? I see others' pix that are lowered than mine.



BTW, I'm going for an alignment this coming weekend.

 

Be sure they did the preload, especially before you go for the alignment. I have the S-Techs and the front should definately be lower than the back.

Are you using the finger gap method or actually measuring with a tape measure?

 

Are you asking me?

Interesting i installed the springs myself and i have about 1 finger clarence in the front and around 2 or so in the rear. I was very happy that the rear did not get lowered as much as the Front.

 

Yup.

Can someone post some close-up pictures of their tire/fender gaps?
