If the front was lower, the front end would be WAY too low. You would be scraping everywhere. Not practical. Also, I think it would put too much stress on the stock shocks. Buy coils if you want to go low low.
no coils for AWD =(

I occasionally scrape on steep driveways.

Hrm... according to love67's pic the S tech front is no different than my F sport front's drop on my AWD, but the back is slammed.. this is not good lol. I wanted the Tein since I thought the back would be similar while the front would be dropped more

On my AWD with F sport, no scrape, even encountering some scaringly large speed bumps and steep inclines.

here is my setup. IS350 RWD with lx-mode front lip and dropped on Eibach250 springs. 1.4 inch lower front. Maybe out of 10, I scraped once. Bottom line is if I'm careful I don't scrape.

same clearance as love67's AWD on s-tech and INGS lip huh?
