Smile Finish Installing Tein H Springs

Just got done putting H-Tech springs on the F..

I love the car and the look after having the front dropped with Tein H Springs..
thanks to JUGRNOT and his fast response and the fast shipping.
The car looks GREAT

Will take some more pictures in the morning.

Looks great and yeah JUGRNOT is legit and communication is great with this guy. Did you install the rear springs as well? If I can re-do my install all over again I would not install the rear springs. IMO it sits too low after they settle in but the front is just perfect. Enjoy!!

So you just installed the front springs? Can you purchase just the front springs separate from the rear? I really want to do this as well and was about to create a thread about this, but this will work as well. haha.

Are there any potential problems with having installed the front springs only?

I want to run 15mm Spacers and drop the front only to give it a nice aggressive stance...

Currently I'm running all four Tein springs but thinking about swapping out the rears again to stock. I've had them for almost a year now and after they have settled I feel the rear is just too low. I loved the height of the factory rear spring. Other members are running this setup and have encountered no issues.

Can you snap some pics of the entire car standing back a way so we can get a full visual? Thanks.

I believe your front wheels are on backwards. The left and right fronts need to be swapped back.
