Just put in S Techs, Drop doesn't seem like the right amount

Hey guys,
I've been lurking here for awhile, but today's my first post. I have a '02 240, haven't done anything too crazy to the car yet. But hey, slowly but surely.





So today I had brand new S-Techs installed



Was really happy until the car was on the ground again because it looked almost the same as the oem springs!(excuse the brake dust; was busy with work and school)





After driving about 30min, the car now does seem abit lower, but its nothing like the S Tech pics shown on Teins site and what not:
http://www.tein.com/tech_info/g00.html

It seems wierd to me because I know someone who did S Techs on his 4th gen eclipse and the drop was immediately noticeable.

Do springs really drop like 1.5in after settling?
From what I read S-Techs are supposed to be a 2.5, 2.6inch drop in the front.

So what gives?

C240 and C32/C55 suspension are NOT the same, check the non-AMG W203 section better direction, good luck

oh ok thanks. I just posted it in the regular non AMG forum. I guess a mod can delete this, or there a way I can delete it?
