hi guys, i want to ask you guys opinion on this before i get checked out, i bought some new wheels from CL, they were 20in, i had 19s before..i have tein cs2 coilovers also bought from a CL memeber here since well over 6-8 months
when i had 19s, no porblem, so i got some 20s more aggressive offset..they were rubbing front and back, so i raised a car a inch from front and back..everything said and done car felt fine no rubbing issues just a little in the back but i have to get my fenders rolled..long stroy short i notice a little rub on the driver sider ..it just got worse over days ...i checked the car is more lowered on the drivers side ...(mean while the both front coilovers are raised at exact same length) so why the car is lowered on the drs side more? i raised a car a little more , after 2 weeks same problem, i duno whats wrong maybe the teins are giving away? its pretty annoying ..any suggestions thanks in advance

the left and right side of the car is never the same height anyway, even stock. it's just that with some gaps it's harder to notice.

my driver side front is also lower by nature. so i have to lower my right front more to make it "even"

ooh, i see never knew that, i was worried that maybe my lower ball joints are done or something, i am having them changed next week..thanks again

well not to say there are no other problems but it's definitely the case that one side is lower than the other even from factory. that's the case on our gs400, is300, and even sc430

you've got coilovers, just even it out.

UZ214

yea i would even them out, but i though its just weird one side lower then the other,

Every car is like this. It's the weight distribution loading on one side more than the other because the weight of the car isn't entirely symmetrical.

Keep in mind that if you adjust just one corner, it will affect the height of all the other corners slightly especially the opposite corner. Example, if you raise the front driver side, the rear passenger side will slightly lower because the weight of the car is shifted. It's gonna take a while until you get the car to even out.

are we forgeting the weight of the driver over a period of time will cause the spring to setttle more than the one with no weight.

i think that's a very small factor, the weigh of the car is quite a bit more than that of a person
