tein s-techs + stock shocks was my first suspension set-up.
imo, ride quality did not suffer, but it was sporty when pushed hard.
ride height-wise, i thought it was nice. nothing too low, but low enough to make a difference.

I'm thinking on doing that set up. Do you still have the same suspension? Did it damage or leak the shocks?

Someone told me S-Tech will make the rear look lower than the front, is it true?

should not damage/blow out the shocks, but will increase the wear on them.

Are you still on the same suspension? For how long?

Rode on s-techs + stock shocks for about 5 months before i blew a shock, but it was almost 100% due to going to an auto cross event. Since upgraded to coils.

Measurement wise, i think the front is lowered more. I didnt notice any unevenness of the drop though.

No camber kit is required, i wouldnt suggest one for this mild of a drop either. Just get an alignment.

i had s-techs for ~2 years, which would've made it ~25k miles based on my driving habits. didn't have any suspension issues during that time.
but i have not been on s-techs for a while now.

you don't need any aftermarket alignment correction parts. iirc, i was still able to stay within factory alignment specs w/ s-techs - albeit barely.

I think I'll do this type of drop. Wanted bcr's but can't afford it. I'm not the type of person that would keep on adjusting the height anyways. Thanks guys for the input.
