I got s-tech for my car but i have a problem... the passenger side is taller by 1 inch in the front and the rear... on the driver side the drop is even, Its like im riding stock height on the passenger side and im dropped on the driver side... Can anyone help please... how do i know whether or not i installed ot correctly, which are the fronts and the back??? is it seated correctly... Plz help a fellow 2IS owner, thanks in advance...

sound like a bad install. if i remember correctly, the front coils are shorter than the rear coils. i have h-techs on my car and the rear is even. in the front, the passenger side is about 2-4mm higher than the driver side depending on the surface...

R you sure you install it correctly? check the spring from your pass. side. You might switch it around....

I bought the springs from horsepowerfreaks.com its a pretty reputable website... all the shops that i went to said they were installed correctly and the only other option that they told me is maybe its the springs itself...

I think u should take the springs on the pass. side out and compare the front and the rear.
