uneven drop
Hey guys....I have a weird problem, one side of my drop is lower than the other, my driver side is real low, no finger gap or anything as to the passenger side isn't that low.....here are some pics, and installation...everything was torqued to spec and done by a professional mechanic. I had the springs put on in March and i thought it'll level its self eventually but we're in July already and it hasn't settled yet..
thats driver side
And if it'll help, I'm dropped on H&R Springs with stock shocks --- 1.4" front and 1.3" rear....any advise is appreciated

its the car, not his driveway or anything else. mine did this also along with many other members....there are many threads on this and nothing you can do unless you get coils to compensate this. if you are not rubbing then you will have no issues. I never had any problems. It was more visual then anything else. Why its like this is what is puzzling....

I lowered my car on TEIN STech lowering springs about a month ago and I noticed this too and other members have posted about the same problem as well.
Well the other day I took my car into the shop that lowered my car for me and told them that the driver side is lower than the passenger side so they parked my car in workshop garage which is level ground and used a measuring tool that measures the drop on each side and suprisingly it is an even drop now. I do not have a problem with my driver side sitting lower, so mine is fixed and I can take it back to the shop when I am over there again and take pictures to prove it.
I didn't do anything but let my springs settle and they are fine and even now.

Someone should measure a stock spring IS and they would find the same thing

the car does it from OEM/Factory. you just notice it more when the car is lowered. No one to date has reported any issues from this so I wouldnt worry about it. The only problem I ran into was I had slight rub on the drive side after I lowered and installed rims. We test fit to push it but I only did it on the passenger side not knowing that there was such a difference. Hopefully the newer people note this before they make any decisions. I wish I knew this before I got my stuff but its not that big of a deal.
