Hey Guys
To make the story short i recently installed some prokit springs on my car. & coming from megan springs it raised decently.. but the front drivers side is still slammed as it had the megan 2" springs. i know that side tends to get a little lower because on engine weight & stuff but it sits an inch or more lower than the passenger side. i am running both front stock shocks & the car has 120k miles taking puertorican streets moonholes on them. could the drivers side shaft could be bent or the shock is blown & affects ride height or could it be some kind of bushing or control arm? it's just that side.. the passenger side sit's just fine.. i will post pics later if can get some. Also do my car doesn't have any camber adjustment from the factory on the front? do i need to buy a camber kit right?
Thanx

springs are pretty much the sole factor in affecting ride height on an undamaged vehicle.

does the camber or caster on the driver side look way different from passengerside?

is the passengerside spring properly seated on its mounts?

a camber kit would be nice to bring some of the angles back into perspective of how they were designed to be. but needless to say some get by with out it.
