Always loved Eibach.. but of the pics I've seen of the fr-s/brz with them, is it me, or does it always look as if the rear is always slightly lower (or, maybe it's just totally even front and rear?)?

I like the frs/brz pics I've seen with the Tein S-Tech... as it appears to give a more attractive and slight rake (ie: front slightly lower than the rear).

Im deciding on which springs to get as well but I have also noticed many suffer from that saggy butt look.

About 15k. The night shot was 24 hours before I wrecked her.
The ride was a touch smother than stock, enough so that my best friend who logged the most passenger seat time noticed the slight improvement.
My wheel set up was neutral and tires were soft summers.
This was a very good set up for street/dd IMO and I wasn't planing on switching to coil over until it was time to change the shocks or I started sporting that would benifit from coils.

Yes, if there's anything I dislike, it is this. It just reminds me of, and looks as if, something is broken in the rear (like on unrestored vintage 80s and earlier cars).

I either like it dead even front and rear, or safer/better with a slight rake. I've always adjusted my past cars with a very slight rake (.2-.5") ..with a rake, I feel/think more oversteer, easier to shift weight to the front and more balanced during accelerated turns.

From what I've seen (in search), the Tein's don't have that "saggy butt look" ..even the number/specs state it is indeed a rake (front slightly lower drop) ..hopefully some people will post new/old Tein spring pics.

Wow :brokenheart:I'm so sorry to hear about that I hope your okay... I'm all dd and street driving so that's all I'm worried about. You reccomend an alignment as well?

I'm fine. Looks nasty but it wasn't that bad. I waited on the alignment a few months (after I went FI) it was more noticeable it was off then (pushing me left) but it wasn't way off.
If you are doing the springs and wheels it's okay to get it aligned after you have that figured out (unless it's bad) why pay twice.

Yeah I'm not going FI... So I guess I'll wait a while when I put my fat summer tires on around march/April to get it aligned bc I have those on for a longer amount of time

Those OZs are a classic wheel. Looks pretty sharp.
