Uneven rear ride height koni yellows tein s techs
My fd was in a minor wreck, hit a curb and had to replace a rear wheel from oversteer about 5 years ago. Ended up needing a wheel beering, and the shop that did the work said the subframe was bent but they could easily bend it back and align the car.Car has sat fine until installing tein lowering springs onto my koni yellows. With all rubber pieces and bolts and perch settings being the same, the unnoticably passeneger wrecked side sits 1/4 to 1/2 inch higher than the driver side. REARSomeone plz tell me, is this just a natural variation on the springs/geometry thats more pronounced with lowering the car or is this a result of bent subframe. I dont see any unusual or bent pieces under the car.
My FD has zero wrecks and has always sat lower on the drivers side with standard lowering springs. Much of it has to do with the OEM rubber shock mounts. They compress more on one side, and remain pronounced when the car is lowered. However, I put fresh rubber on a second time around and it still sat lower on one side.
Typically most every vehicle that is lowered with standard springs will sit lower on one side. Most never notice, but as a particular owner, we obviously do.
Ultimately, coilovers will eliminate it completely. As long as the car aligns and tracks properly, you are fine.

Take pics of the spring perch on BOTH sides. You may have installed one perch differently from the other side. Happens often.
Did you say you got new upper shock mounts?

I installed coil overs back around 1997 because my FD did not sit level and it was the only way to adjust ride height correctly.
Previosuly I had installed the RB springs but they lowered the front too much for good/safe street use. Unless you are a stance only type of person.
