#19363, "Lowering height difference?"


          

I lowered my car with coilovers on both sides of equal distance, but the drivers side still sits higher tahn the pass side. Is this typical, should i adjust the other side for the misequality in ride height?

Weird, it's usually the passenger side that sits higher. Anyway, I had that same problem and adjusted the coilovers until both sides were at the same height. I haven't had a problem since. Just be sure to measure both sides with a tape measure and that the car is sitting on absolutely level ground.

Oh, and coilovers take a little time to settle too each time you adjust them, so after you set the car back down... don't measure it again till a couple days later to check and readjust.

Yeah d00d. Bitch slap your car and show it whats up. Maybe you tried that, but that would mean that your left handed emoji.

But seriously, most cars after being lowered will be higher on the passanger side because there usually any weight over there (correct me if im wrong). When we did our coilovers it didn't do that at all. Maybe we were just lucky. But I used the very, very accurate stick a finger or two in there and go to the other side and see if its the same. Also, the get way back and get to bumper level and check is also a very accurate way of seeing if it is the same. LMAO! I did eventually check it with a tape and it was almost perfect, but the passanger side is a tad bit higher, but it is unnoticeable.
