Default Tein stech on stock shocks. Front lower than rear!

I installed Tein S-Tech springs on stock shocks months ago, I aligned the car at oem specs. I thought the rear was going to go lower and stay even with the front but it didnt happen.

Is this normal with Tein S-Tech springs on stock shocks?

Im pretty sure I have the front springs on the front, same goes to the rear of course.

Need some input guys.

Here is a pic.

the s2000 already comes stock with that "racked" suspension setup.

I think yours looks fine.

It looks even to me.

I think ap2s go lower than ap1 when lowered, and this may be due to the ap2 being lower than the op1 from the factory?
