hey guys, just wondering if any of u had this problem.

my brother (and i) were drivin in a canyon last night and it seemed as if the left tires kept rubbing on the fenders as we turned hard. we thought it was just the car making funny noises but it really was rubbing. so when we got home to see what was wrong, we realized the left side of the car was lower than the right side of the car. no way, this is how the height adjustment is by sticking my hand in between the tires/fender:

front right - 1 finger
front left - can't fit finger, tire is pretty much tucked under fender

rear right - 3 fingers
rear left - 1 finger

the car came with tokico shocks & eibach springs (not sure pro/sport, but the springs are black in color). maybe its the suspension setup or is it the car?

while most shocks have internal gas pressure it only translates to about 10 to 20 pounds of expansionary force. not enough to effect ride height.

everything works diagonally. your left front LF is the lowest corner so the right rear RR is the highest.

i doubt it is a spring problem. there are thick rubber insulators on both ends of each spring. they must index w the end of the spring. perhaps the person who installed them didn't do it correctly. ( most probable)

should you find everything is o k w the installation and a spring is the culprit my guess is that Eibach would stand behind them for you.

OBTW, ride height s/b 25 inches front and 25.375 rear at the top of the wheel wells.

keep us posted. good luck,
