Default Installed Tein S-techs...on '08 enthusiast.

By measurement, the front dropped only slightly over 3/8th inch, less than specs.
The rear dropped 9/16th"...more than specs.

The rear camber stayed within specs...the front was out of spec at -1.9 and -1.8 left to right. I don't think this will be an issue though. Toe was good both front and rear.

Before pics and after pics....yeah, yeah I know which are which?

I also have Ichiba spacers 15mm F and 20 mm R.

Really like the newer stock wheels. So I'll keep them until something else catches my eye.

nice man, thanks for the post and pics.. i have been searching for an 07-08 with factory wheels, dropped with the tein s springs... the drop isn't crazy, but defnitely noticeable and shouldnt wear out the factory shocks too prematurely.

did you install the springs or have them done? im considering doing this.

Thanks!
