    all new suspension sags abit after it's installed, i wouldn't worry about it, unless it's dropped like 50mm or something.

    or maybe you just have a sneaky friend who lowered them when you weren't looking

    Cool. Yeah it lowered itself on one corner about 1cm. It always rubbed, but now it's like it's rubbing so hard that it's slowing the car down haha

    Mine are effected by the temp on the day. If it hot it will go lower.

    Just measure it to make sure its still the same on both sides.

    Nah, it's about 15mm lower on the right than on the left.

    Dunno, I might raise it a bit... probably not hahaha.

    If it's not rubbing...

    if you drive in the car by yourself, having more weight on the right hand side will cause the RHS to 'wear' or sag a bit quicker than the left.

    also check something else isn't busted, maybe check strut tops, see if they're busted? & make sure the coils are 'set' at the same height (same amount of thread left)
