Swift springs on STI

Hey all, Just wanted to give some feedback on swift products. I Just installed Swift Sport Mach springs in my 05 STI and really love the feel. These are highly recommended by many who want a smooth ride with a nice tight turn feeling. The install took abit longer than expected due to some complications with my lug nuts. The dam shop who installed my rims for me used a impact gun and put like 200 LBS of torque on em, Had to break em off since the key stripped out too ;0( Owell, least the studs didnt have to be broken.
Any way, the springs are nice, great look on hight in the rear but for some odd weird reason, the front on the STI's always looks off and not too much lowered. Any 1 know why?

Got some pics? I have a 06 sti and I'm looking to lower it. I wanted a clean even look if possible and no saggy rear.

I have the same springs on my 05 STi and love the way it rides. Not harsh at all feels like the way it used to be with the stock springs. Here's a pic of mine.
Sorry bro not trying to hi-jack your thread.
