Oh no, not another Tein thread...

At any rate,
Just installed the tein springs with GR-2s on my car and it has quite a bit of rake. there's alomst an inch difference between front and rear of the car (Measured outside of the jacking points). I thought everybody said that the drop is even ? I alaso have quite a bit more of a wheel gap in the back as compared to the front. Anyone noticed the same thing ?

 

Ohhh great, just what i wanted to hear as my teins will be arriving any day now.

I think i did hear previously that the front was a tad lower, which is better then back a bit lower.

 

I like the look, Its just that whole bunch of people were saying how even it is and I'm wondering if there's something wrong with my particular installation...

 

 

Mine's like that too.....my front is much lower than the rear.

 

not mine... i didnt cut the front bumpstops, so the car is EVENed out, but the rear drops just a half a Cm lower than the front, nOT much... only noticable by me, not by anyone,,,, i guess i am just weird about perfectionism...

 

Well bumpstops should not affect the way the car looks at rest. It is really interesting that your back is lower than the front.... my back is over an inch higher than the front...

Anybody else ?

 

Mine is about even... It just looks lower in the front then the back... and my bumpstops are cut...

 

What is the measurement from the center of the fender to the ground?

This is where the term "even drop" is coming from. The wheel well in front is cut much higher than the rear. Therefore, you must lower the front more than the rear to give the look of an "even drop" That's why a lot of guys do not like the H&R springs. They almost give a true even drop but leaves the rear looking lower than the front.

Bumpstops have no effect on ride height.

 

The drop was more in the front than the rear... But, comparing fender gaps... the rear sits lower than the front... But the front did drop more than the rear...

 

well from what I read, the s-tech teins drop Front 2.2, Rear 1.8..... correct me if Im wrong. thanks. I found them for 140 shipped... so I am happy.

 

Hmm..mine seem to be pretty even, and HITMANSE measured the difference on his and it as like .25" difference between the front and rear.

Can you post pics of your drop?

Here is mine, and check my sig, mine are damn near close to even...

 

Damn 92 SE-R 02 SE, I like that drop... i got the springs already... Im just waiting for the KYBs Gr-2s

 

1.6" drop in the rear.

 

Height off the groud is as follows:
Front fender lip (on the wheel centerline): 25.0"
Rear fender lip (on the wheel centerline): 26.0"

Front side sill jacking point: 6"
Rear side sill jacking point: 6.7"
