I installed some dropzone springs on my car about 2 weeks ago. Well I noticed that the car didnt drop evenly. Every side has a different height. The right front has about a 2 1/2 finger gap while the left front has a little less than 2. Then the right rear has a 3 1/2 finger gap and the left rear having about 2 1/2. I'm really confused as to what happened. Coudl this have happened because of error in installation? Or maybe the state the struts or in. Or are the springs themselves messed up? Any help would be appreciated cause I dont know what to do.:confused:
 
You looking at your car on a EXTREMELY level ground?.... If the road is slanted even just a little, the car will shift it's weight.
 
Alot of 2g's have that problem. There's really nothing you can do to fix it. My car has the same problem with h&r springs. It will get slightly better over time when the springs settle but it will never be even all around.What type of struts are you using?
 
On my Tokico springs the driver's side is about a half a finger(2 fingers) lower than the pass. front(2.5 fingers), and the rear is like 3.5 fingers. Just get a whole bunch of fat people to jump on the car on the side that is higher and maybe that will help compress it a little bit :p

Other than that I would just it needs to settle a little bit.


Would having the shocks at a stiffer setting (5 in the back, 4 in the front) have any effect on the ride height?
 
i'm thinking shocks might have something to do with it b/c i have kyb gr2's. Maybe i'll get some adjustables later on but i like the ride and it looks close to even now but only i can notice it, and the average person can't.
