Default S-techs sag

Anyone on here with S-techs got a sagging problem in the rear or it caused by the fender being lower in the back I've been looking at alot of pictures lately cuz im getting some tomorrow and I was wondering if it's sagging or if the car was just made that way.

If you have a system in the trunk it will sag quite a bit.I had a 70 pound sub box in the back and the rear dropped 1/4 inch, which was very noticeable. Otherwise they sit even. Check my gallery if you want pics.

Do you have a camber kit, I've decided to stick it out and just get alignment and wait to see if I get tire ware.

Yea I have a SPC camber kit. Mycamber was messed up, you'll probably need one man. Actually the allignment shop will try to make you buy one from them, but dont do it. Its a cheap part that is very easy to install.

Yah I kinda figured that when the first shop I called said, "You know you should really get a camber kit when lowering your car....." Now I know most of them wil say that. Thanx

Ya I just wanted to make sure...A local shop tried to charge me $500 to install a camber kit. Good luck with the install, man.

thanks Mill$ weve got the same model i believe andboth have 17" wheels with a single sub in the back, so we'll probably have similar setups (once i get my s-techs)
