I just had my H-sport springs and Koni Yellow's installed and my car definently seems to be sitting lower on the driver side than the passenger side. I can take a picture of the wheel gaps to show the difference if that would help, but any ideas as to what is going on? I have not had the car aligned yet as I'm waiting on my H-sport control arms to come in, but I don't think alignment has any effect on ride height.

The car drives straight and isnt pulling any weird way, but its certainly lower on the drive side, both in the front and rear. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Oh also, I bought the springs and shocks used, with low miles, so I don't think they have any more to settle.

 

make sure the front struts are seated all the way down on the bottom

 

Check to see that you have the springs seated completely in the rubber seats top and bottom and that the front strut is down in the knuckle all the way. Not one of those, you got me.

 

Are you stopped on level ground?

 

stop eating fast food

 

LMAO...thinking the same thing!

 

Hahaha ok you comedians....lol I'm like 5'7" and 125 lbs...

Nice try though!

 

Pretty lean maybe you SHOULD eat fast food....or get a co-pilot heavier than you to balance out the ride for awhile....

 

Now lets say one wanted to do what you say here....what do I do haha. I'm really not good with suspensions, thus why I did not install it myself. If the spring is not "seated completely" in the rubber seats, is a spring compressor required to fix it??

Pardon my ingnorance!!

 

Was the previous owner heavy?

 

Check the height from the jack blocks to the ground, preferably in a relatively flat surface like a garage. The wheel arches aren't the best place to measure the actual height. I just put the same setup on mine this past weekend BTW .

 

Dood...the driver's side usually sits lower. Well, at least with stock suspension. I was too lazy to really read your whole post. Get back with me next week when Im back in town and we will look at it.....

 

#1 Let him take a look...

 

If you paid someone to do the work, and you're not happy with it, take it back to them and tell them what the problem is.

 

Why is that?

 

I meant the driver's side sits higher than the passenger's. What can I say....I was a little drunk yesterday.....

 

It should be level. I'd take it back. My guess is the same as the others.

"Check to see that you have the springs seated completely in the rubber seats top and bottom and that the front strut is down in the knuckle all the way."

 

Well my control arms should be here tomorrow, and I'm taking it back to get aligned sometime next week, I'll have them look then.

Even though the car has not been aligned and I have what appears to be massive rear negative camber, and tires which are basically shot...I'm shocked at how well the car handles now though!! It's GREAT!! Highly recommend the set-up to anyone.

 

Maybe you should disregard my last post.....

 

Maaaaybe... But then I'm sponsored by DIY Lowe's Racing...

 

My mistake... Thought you were sponsored by Budweiser...

 

I'm too good for Budweiser. Okay....Hefewizen Racing! Or maybe I should call the car SoCo Express
