Tien S-tech

OK I installed the s-tech's in may and for some reason in the back right side it is slightly higher than the other side. What is the reason behind it?

If I'm not mistake, those are adjustable, which means that one settled a little differently and just needs to be readjusted to match. Or it could have been installed not quite matching the others and you're just noticing it now. I wouldn't worry much. Just readjust it and keep going.

s-techs are not adjustable, they're just springs unless you got them on koni yellows which are adjustable 5 ways

Are you running your s-techs on OEM dampers? If so then it would seem they just settled that way and to be honest anything 1/4" and less is indeterminable to the human eye, the only way you would really tell is by doing the rough finger gap test or using a tape measure. If it's over a 1/4" then you may want to take them back to where you had them installed and see what the deal is.

My friend told me that it's because all the weight that I'm driving is on the drivers side and I don't carry any passengers that often so it would take a little longer to settle on the other side. The gap is getting a bit smaller week by week as I drive. I did it in may but I haven't driven much in the summer cause I broke my ankle. Thanks for the helps guys.
