Default Lowered my S2000

Hi guys, it's been a while since I posted here. Yesterday I lowered my 2004 Honda S2000. I replaced the original springs with Tein S-tech springs. The spring on the paper says, that it will lower only 1 inch, but to me it looks like the rear is lower than the front. For those of you that have the same springs (Josh) on the S what do you say?

Fronts #SKA58

Rear #SKA59

wait aleast a week for the spring to settle down. but usually with lowering springs the rear is a little lower than front thats why i prefer coilovers.

I have the same springs currently on my s. They just need sometime to settle in but the rear always seems to sit a little lower then the front.

Coilovers FTW! Everyone ends up cutting the aftermarket springs anyway. lol No adjustment

Thanks guys, my driver side front spring was not sitting all the way in, but after a little correction the height looks good. Now I can buy a new mic, and finish my DIY video, on how to lower the S2000.
