This is the front:

Nice! Thats lower than what I am getting. I am getting a 1 finger gap for the front.

I installed mine last Saturday and left the country on Monday, but the one day that I had them so far I like them.

A softer sturt will cause you to bottom out more which will cause more damage to the shock which will cause it to blow.

I know about that. Just waiting for the original strut/shock to give up on me and then will upgrade to a better one. Looking at Koni FSDs....

Koni yellows will be good control. Just worried about a harsh ride. Thats why looking at the FSD to get the balance of comfort and performance! But I have to say the Koni yellows are great stuff!

Is it really? I thought mine was kinda high for S-Techs. How long have you had yours on? Can you throw a pic of your front on here?

After you put them on it takes a little till they set. They should go down a little more after they settle, mine took a little while. I wish my rear was a little lower though. Its a tad higher then my front and in some angles annoys me lol. Its still nice though and better then stock

I used to be monster trucking it:


lol

But here is the stock gap I had: I could use it as a step ladder ahh

Don't be a wussy now. You don't like it rough? Ahaahahahha. I'm just messin. I have Tein Flex and the spring rate on those is double that of the S techs and the ride isn't too bad, in fact, I could even go stiffer.
