Lowered car - height issues
Hey guys,
I lowered my car using H&R springs and Bilstein shocks.
I did this on Friday and have driven about 160 miles on them. They appear to have lowered the car a small amount. The driver's side came down 1.5" and the passenger side came down .75" I double checked the work and both sides were assembled in the same exact way.
What could affect the height like this? The rears went together and are the same height, but not the front.
Thanks!
Chances are that the thrust and control arms...
werent torques correctly when installed previously. Put the car up on ramps, loosen and re torque the big end of all the arms. If the printing is the right way then the springs ar in correctly, did you make sure the spring ends were rotated against the stops after tightening the top strut nuts? That also could cause the height issue.
you DID remove the stock bumpstops right?
you are using the bilstein sport shocks too? If your not running the sports then you have to cut the stock bumpstops in half...or something like that.
The 1/4 inch spacer is needed for that big washer to be in the right position on them shocks, looks like you have the sport shocks. If so remove #9, 10 & 11 as they are unnecessary.
