Tokico Advanced Handling Issues!!

[97gst_spyder]

So I just installed the following.

- Tokico Advanced Handling kit. (AWD 1.75in drop)
- Prothane Total Kit
- All new spring insulators all the way around.

My car was leaning to the drivers side rear before I installed everything. After the install it still is.

The measurements are:
DF: 25in PF: 26in
DR: 25in PR: 26 1/8th in.

What could cause this??

Is all the tire pressure the same?

I would not be surprised if this is normal. The weight of the car is not going to be equal .That why people corner weight their cars.

But an inch difference? The car had the same issue before the stiffer springs, adj struts, new insulators, prothane bushings, etc.

The front drivers side fender was before my gf bought it orignally. But everything lines up, except the fender due to it being dented up.

Alot of 2g's lean to one side more than the other, it has something to do with the suspension geometry. My 2g leaned to the driver side as well.

But an inch? thats a drastic lean for anything.

Yes, an inch.
But I've recently come across the only other thing I know of that can cause this, besides the tendency of a 2g to list like that once lowered. A member here had severely deteriorated lower control arms bushings that had sagged to the point of causing a sizeable difference in ride height on that side. If I'm not mistaken, it was not entirely easy to notice on a brief inspection. Take a real good look at yours so you can cross it off the list.

The only cure's I know of are owning a 2g that doesn't list (they exist) and the SPC adjustable upper control arms. Now, having said that, it stands to reason that either the OEM A-arms are not symmetrical (the SPC units are) or there is more to this worn bushing business than we know about.
