Uneven height when lowered??

[KI11Z]

we're talking about measuring the evenness of your lowering not how to go low its how i was taught and i'm sure how many shops do . . .

Wouldn't it be better to measure the coil itself with a vernier's caliper? I can't think of a more accurate way of doing it...

Guys, they're all good suggestions...

But they're not helping me!! My wheel gap is bigger on one side and the car is higher on that side. Help!! lol

have you checked the threads to make sure that they're at the same height?

Maybe they've ones changed when you were tightening or something, hence is higher/lower than the other side. jack up the car and get a small ruler out and measure the bottom of the spring to the bottom of the thread on each side and compare. taht's what i'd do in this case.

just spit-balling.

As I lowered my car on Monday I did what KI11Z has suggested as my father said it was a good idea to double check on level ground...

Unfortunately, the thread height is regardless of the car height. After dropping and raising an inch below and about half an inch above what the left spring was, it didn't move.

In sayin that it means that there is something hitting the control arm something along those lines if its not moving you could have something in the way.

Last time I checked I wasn't hitting anything lol...I might take it to a mate mechanic and hoist it up and have a looksee.


One thing I did notice though...The right tyre sits at about 16-19mm away from the edge of the strut, and on the left the gap is about 26-30mm. Any suggestions as to why/what that might be?
