> Is my rear wheel gap supposed to be this huge with the Tein/KYB combo?

I don't get it. The front is nice and tucked, but the rear is tall like a rally car. Really takes away from the aggresive stance that the crappy Dropzone coilovers provided. kindasad.gif I think my buddy installed them wrong or something. Are any stock suspension parts required when installing this combo (other than the attaching nuts and bolts)?

Well the back is only supposed to be lowered about 1'' with the Tein's but it looks like your gap is a little bigger than what I've seen and compared to my car. I'm not really sure how the springs could be installed improperly as long as the strut and spring combo was installed exactly as they came off. Did he cut the bump stop as Tein suggests in the instructions?? Also, it doesn't look like the KYB struts in the back b/c they are supposed to be silver and yours look black like the stock ones. It could be because of the low profile tires though.
