ok so i installed my tein lowering springs on my r53., took the car for a alignment, now my question is the front has lowered a bit but the rear still looks like it was stock height?? does the rear springs take longer to settle? need helpp!!

thank you.

 

I just installed some Tein's yesterday and the drop was immediate.

 

H-tech or s-tech?

S-techs but they have settled now the drop is really low. I'm scraping everywhere in CT roads are bad might have to sell them or trade them for a little higher springs.

 

Strange. TEINs shouldn't give you more drop than H&Rs or VOGTLANDs. Are you on stock 17 wheels & tires? Your offsets maybe too low or you need to add a bit of negative camber. These guys never complained:

 

I'm on 17x8 38 offset. I love the height but the axle shakes are still there with new auto part international axles ( have a thread on this issue) and scraping front bumper everywhere has got me too frustrated at this point.

 

Yeah that's why you don't lower MINIs that much, especially with a lowering spring. No travel and a lot of other problems.
