When lowering an LS with Eibach springs the frontend drivers side will become an 1/4 lower than the passenger side (when measuring from top of tire to wheel well)...........So here is the cure I came up with, I made a 1/4 shim and installed it on top of the strut mount and now car is level in the frontend side to side...............Here's some pics:

That's a pretty good idea. What is it made from?

Good thinking Mike.

(Glad to see you working on the car again.

It's that flippin' battery weight that screws it up for us. I took the battery out to do some other stuff and it evens out.

On mine, the difference is about 1/8" depending how much gas is in the car.

Let us know how the alignment settings are.

I made it out of aluminum and it takes about 30 minutes to install.

RA40, In time yours will be 1/4" also........If you do yours I can make you a shim or you can alter your strut spacer,because you will have to delete it because the 3 studs will be to short to use both...............I had to bent my stb to fit.......................I am going to get an alignment soon,I will kept you informed.
