When you go low enough elongating the holes is needed to get the toe back into spec.

sorry for the late reply but if you dont want it too aggressive go with Tein H, i love the S drop although i cannot ride with more than 2 ppl in it. i usually dont anyways. it can barely clear speed bumps.

Anyways... hoping the S Techs ride decent and arent too low, but we'll see. Should have pics in 2-3 weeks.

Hipo, we need more pics! Has it settled yet?

the ride quality is really SMOOTH!!! and it rides almost like oem is what i loved about them. i will update some pictures soon as the car is in the shop getting the rear IPL and side skirts to match the front end

If you never had your toe slot elongated than you were essentially just using your stock toe bolt. Elongating the toe slot allows the bigger concentric washer on the toe kit to have full travel. When you drop below a certain point (like myself on coils) the stock toe bolts' travel is maxed out and can't get toe in spec. Since toe is more critical for tire wear than camber it's essential you get it in spec, hence the need for the bigger toe travel w/ the aftermarket toe kit.
