RSR SuperDowns Uneven rear drop?
Hello everyone,
To those who have super downs on their RWD car, is the drop on the rears even for you? My driver side is a bit lower than than my passenger side. I'll get exact measurements later when I am home.
Thanks!

I think i may have just found the solution after reading about similar issues.
When tightening the driver side rear, i jacked up the suspension then torqued everything down, but the passenger side i got a little lazy and did not jack up the suspension before torqueing everything down.
Which would explain why the passenger side is higher.
I will re do the rears when i get home to see if there is any difference.

did this correct the issue? I am having the same problem on RSR downs. The drivers side rear is about a half inch lower than the passenger side.

I believe its just how the car's designed for whatever reason, which is super annoying
Had RSR Downs - Same issue.
Now on Airrex Air struts - guess what... same issue.
Have to pump up about 20psi extra on driver side rear to get it to match the passenger rear's height.

Update-
I removed the springs and switched them around. I even loaded up both side of the suspension evenly before torquing everything just to make sure everything was consistent.
It seems it slightly fixed the issue, but the driver side is still lower. As mention above, it must be a design issue. I remember back then i had to cut a rubber cone for my G35 Coupe when it was on springs to make it even. There aren't any cones that's cuttable to even out the drop on this car however.
