Default Anyone else with AGX struts and TEIN springs sit like a truck?

I thought maybe after a day or two they would break in and the car would sink a little. Anyone else sit high with this setup? The front is also higher than the back, I thought this was suppose to be the other way around. Ride is sweet though.

I have AGXs on Tein springs and it looks wonderful. Maybe you installed them incorrectly. The front of my car is definately lower than the back.

Nah they are installed correct. I'll take pictures and post them tomorrow if I have time. What are your settings and how much wheel gap do you have?

I'm on 1 front 4 rear and I've got maybe a finger and a half in front and three fingers (maybe two0 in back. I didn't get Teins and KYB AGX's to get dumped: I got em for the incredible handling and comfort.

I don't think the struts have anything to do with the height difference. Adjusting the settings will not change your ride height at all. Do you have anything in the back or your car...like a box or something that might be weighing the rear end down?

my friend put them (tein) on his ef and it did the same... the back sat lower than the front and there really wasnt much of diff in height from stock.... but in my opinion i like the front to be a bit lower than the rear..

The front sank down a little bit more. I guess they are just breaking in. Now the car is sitting like even. The only thing I have in the back is a zex 10lb. bottle and thats empty.

My setttings are 1F and 4R now also. The ride is so smooth, and I didnt want my car "slammed" anyway. I just want a sport low.
