are they used? Thats funny cause everyone that has Blues loves them with a 1.3 drop. As for the stance, unless it's got weight in the car on one side, or the springs are well used, I couldn't tell you why the car sits crooked, did you install them properly? emoji

I'm lowered on the S-Tech's and running the blues...the ride quality is excellent IMO.

Did you remember to cut the bumpstops (the yellow foam/rubber piece that slides over the shaft of the strut/shock) to spec that Tein suggests? You should roughly cut around 1.3" off the BOTTOM of the bumpstop if I remember correctly. If you cut from the top you'll need to buy new bumpstops.

Also remember that the drivers side of the car has the tranny and is somewhat heavier compared the to the passenger side. It seems like my drivers side sits slightly lower than the pass.

Hey thanks I will check the yellow stubs and the balck rubber because I had someone else install everything, but what if I had the srpings on and then took them off for about 6 months and then back on would that cause the problem???

Nope shouldnt matter, as long as everything was installed and then reinstalled properly.

sounds like the struts are blown. Remove them and exercise the struts to see if there is any resistance as the rod is forced in and out of the strut.
