Default Tein S-tech Springs

Does anyone know why their drop is in my opinion "backwards"? isnt it supposed to drop lower in the front than the rear?

the TEINS are 1.5 FR and 1.7 RR? does that make sense? because i notice that the back of my car is lower than the front especially when the gas tank is full. The wheel gap is much smaller in the rear.. or is it just an illusion?

According to the Hyper Rev book...

drop:
front = 40mm/ rear = 20mm for the tein s.tech springs

spring rates:
front = 3.2~9/ rear = 2.9kg/mm

It's up to you on which one you want to believe in...

I have not heard a lot of anyone with a GS or Aristo on Tein springs. Most Tein users are using their coilovers.
Springs that have a good reputation are:
JDM springs: Espelir, HKS, KG/MM
Other: H&R, Eibach

For the lowest possible drop I would go for the JDM Espelir.
I would also try to get some feedback from others. The problem with just springs is that you cannot adjust the height if you think it's too low or too high, unless you can try for free. But remember, the cost for installing springs are comparable to the cost of the springs.

BTW, I saw some people with Espelir, so those should be okay. You can do a search.
