Default Dropped it couple days ago but still little gap wit 19's.

I dropped it with tein s techs and installed Axis 19x8F 19x9.5R 235/35F & 265/30R 2 days ago and i still see about 2-3 finger gaps on both F & R, but when i look at other 2IS with similar wheel settings and tein s tech they have no gaps. whats wrong?

I posted these pictures on my other thread, but here it is again, sorry for being so repetitive.

Do 250s sit higher than 350s when stock? I think that is why there is a 250 and 350 version of the Eibach kit. This is also why a lot of 350 owners run the 250 pro kit, so they can get a lower drop.

one thing ive noticed, if its your car and you look at her everyday it will 'appear' higher... im dropped on coils and it still seems high to me in the garage BUT when i drive past a mirror tinted office building and look *which i do all the time * she looks great...

Also the springs need a few wks to settle ALTHOUGH its not like it'll drop another 1/4in...

Wait for them to settle in, they will drop another 1/4 or so.

Uneven drop aside (my old Eibachs did the same thing), that's a nice looking car.
