your suspension will settle and the rear should come down some.Oh and get a alignment check after about 2 weeks of driving or so... depending on how much driving you do.

The ride is amazing, I love the way it handles. And yes, I suspect that the car will drop slightly within the next few weeks and I plan on getting my alignment in a month. Oh yeah, I knew about the fake Teins and I double checked mine, they're legitimate.

I used Tein S-Tech springs. The drop was just over 2". Myself, along with many others, would recommend Tein S-Tech springs for this application.
