IMHO it's a waste of time to buy the S tech to then later go through the hassle of cutting your spring mounts. You should've bought Hotchkis springs to begin with which would've given you the same after effect and still stay close to factory alignment spec.
not to mention that the hotchkis has linear rate springs, which I prefer.

Spacers in the front with 255's and 285's in the rear make a big difference

Comparison with the BC Racing below..

Now for sure my car is not that low! i got some used s tech and its still not that low like atleast two fingers. are you sure those are s tech? but hands down that red z is the SH** , and you probably have a fat chick sitting inside to make it that low with an s tech. good JOB!

That red Z a few posts up (sweet by the way) looks as low if not lower than mine and he is running the S-techs as well. I do think that how the drop looks has alot to do with your offset and tire/rim width and sidewall size as well.
i agree, and BTW looking at your pics your rears are look like 19/35/2** mines are 19/30/275 the 35 in the rear is probably whats closing that gap. ill probably get 35 next time
