actually right above where it says that it lowers it 2" in the front and rear it says that it lowers it 1.4" in the front and 1.1" in the rear. i'm not sure why it's the same height as stock, but i'm not gonna complain. if anyone knows why this is, feel free to let us know.

This is what tein has posted on thier site for the S Tech.

Approx Lowers
1.14" front
0.16" rear

That should explain why your rear is the same as stock.

Wow...looks great! At the risk of sounding goofy, did you have to have to reallign or anything like that after installation?

Dang those were expensive. I scored the S-Techs for the Evo for only $120.

The springs make the car look nice. Pretty much look the same as my car on Progress Springs. Still it looks very good. Did you install them you self or had a shop do them? As for the tint question sp0rk, its only illegal if you tint the two front passenger and driver windows. Yea i know California has gay laws on driving.

i installed them myself. it's not a hard job to do. and the 15% tint is actually illegal here but the cops really don't say too much unless they stop you for something else. i can still see just fine at nite. i'm used to it by now anyway. the last 3 cars i've had all had 10% or 15% tint.

I think the back looks higher because the front was dropped more, and it leaves the car on an angle rising from front to back, which makes the back look the same as stock.

Looks the same with my progress springs as well.

It looks the same as stock because there is less than half inch drop.

Depending on the brand of spring, sometimes they can settle about another half inch or so after a while. That could be why it doesn't look lower at all.
