well,
when i did mine, after i have finished, the front doesn't look lowered at all....ended up....i didn't insert the bottom of the shocks all the way into the Suspension Yolk (and good thing i didn't drive it the next morning...)

Check that, and make sure the bottom of the shocks are all the way in the yolk

That's my car right after i've installed the suspension (after i've fixed the "Insertion" problem).

hope it'll all work out for you

yes, but you still have to take the shocks out when you did the springs right?

Just make sure everything is in place...that's all...also, the HTech instructtion mentioned something about cutting the shock's bump stop if you're using the stock shock...did you do this?...

I changed my shocks also, therefore i didn't have to do this.

sxlova07 just installed tiens htechs on his TL and the front looked high this weekend when I saw his carat the MA meet, but everyone seemed to agree that with a FWD car (most of the weight is on the front), it'll settle a bit with use.
