Hey Folks,

So I recently lowered my 2004 Mini Cooper with adjustable coilovers. The front turned out perfectly, but I am having some problems with the back.

I had the coilovers perfectly adjusted when I first put them on. I counted threads and also measured them. When they first went on the car they were perfect, but when I drove the car, the driver side sunk about 5-10mm. I readjusted the driver side to see if that fixed the problem and the driver side still sunk the same distance after moving the car.

After each adjustment I bounced the car for about 30 seconds straight, and the adjustment would still be where I left it, but as soon as I drive the car as little as a couple feet the left side drops again. Ive double checked the mounts, and also made sure the shock isn't leaking. Everything appears to be in perfect order.

Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

 

Parking brake on? Sometimes this will raise the car up.
