Suspension Help Question

I have a '94 Touring with stock front suspension and I just noticed that my left front of the car is sitting almost 1.5" lower than my right front side. The left front is not "bottoming out" or anything, but the whole car is noticeably leaning to the left side.

Has anyone had this problem? Do I have a weak coilover spring? What are my options? I have a budget around $800. My car is strictly for street driving.

I have a brand new rear suspension replaced under warranty, so maybe an entire new system wouldn't be best in my situation. Does anyone know how much the stock front struts and springs cost?

Thanks, I need your help!!!

That doesn't sound fun. Sounds like the springs are probably worn. How many miles are on your chassis? If you can't afford a new aftermarket set of coilovers right now, I'm sure you can find someone selling the stock ones cheap (~$100). Good luck!

I think I am going to put Tokico/Suspension Specialties struts/springs all around. I'm getting a kit from RX-7.com.

I have 43,000 on the body. The rear suspension was recently replaced under warranty though.

Does anyone know where I can get an inexpensive torque wrench suitable for this job (I am installing this stuff myself).

Thanks,
