i'm surprised there are no S2K owners running with Tanabe NF. i had them for two years in my IS and they were great with the stock shocks.

Most cars the front wheel arches are larger than the rear to allow the tire to turn .

You can not use the gap between the tire and the fender as a judge from front to rear.

Ex . 2 finger front one finger rear could be level

ex2. 1 finger all the way around would mean the front is raked.


Having the car raked vs. level will also tranfer more weight over to the front so you will lose you 50/50 balance and upset you handling .

do you know if the shop that installed the springs loosened the suspension arm bolts after installing the springs and tightened them with the cars weight on all 4 corners?

Check your alignment and ALSO make sure you have the bumpstop cut off at the correct spot. << Those two are a must for tein stech springs.

H-techs are 1/2 inch drop I believe and rides softer than s-tech. Those are more towards luxury rides like Lexus and Beamers and so on.
