    it should be lowered evenly. if anything you'll see maybe a .2 inch difference but thats hardly noticeable. doesnt really matter which struts you have either because if the struts lower your car, they are lowered evenly front and rear as well.

    Did you by any chance get the knock off tein brand? I've read on other posts where people are selling tein knock offs with tein logos online.

    The wheel opening in the back is lower than the front, so that gives the illiusion of the back being lower. I have S-techs too and my car looks the same way.

    Watch out for those Tokico blues though, because I've had 2 sets blow prematurely.
