Tein S Tech a little worried

Hey guys i put the S Tech's on my G37S Coupe a couple of weeks ago and it seems like the back is getting lower and lower and the front is still staying up. thats the first problem, the second is since the car is a lease i dont want to put a camber kit, will taking the car for alignment help its overall drivability and somewhat help the camber? im not sure what to do the car itself doesnt have perfect stability it feels like it swerves, oh and i recently put H&R rear 15mm spacers...looks sick....

You need to get your alignment first if you haven't already before you do anything.

I'm on stechs and as you ride on them I noticed the rear does drop more, it's at the point where it looks weird cause the rear sits lower than the front. If you don't get a camber kit you'll be looking around -3.4 rear camber, fronts aren't too bad. I aligned mine about 5 months after I dropped it and the shop said "your alignment was really f****ed up" I didn't notice the car driving different at all though. I'd rather have gotten the h&r springs cause the front sits nice and low compared to the rear. Hope this helps
