Default anyone know of a good suspension shop?

My left side sits .5" lower than psgr side.
Long story short, I hit a median about 4 yrs ago on driver side and I'm sure it's what caused this issue. I replaced shocks, springs, spindle, left lca and it made a little diff.

Any info I wld appreciate it.

If I can't get it fix, I'm selling car and finding another SS.

Thx

id try nelson performance in NB before lethal.

hold on just a second though. is the rear, the front, or the whole driver side vs. the whole passenger side? have you checked out the suspension & braking sub forum recently? I could swear that this half inch difference is "normal" for our cars. If I were you, I would call Sam Strano and just ask him. He'll give you a straight answer.

Also, I have heard that installing the spring in certain ways in the rear has certain effects on ride height.

what i would do:
research suspension & braking forum first
no luck, try strano
no luck, try nelson performance
no luck? sell me your wheels & tires first
THEN sell car

I think it's opposite though, where the passenger side is lower than the driver so it "evens out" when you sit in it.

.5 isnt crap to worry about, You gonna loose more than that over time just in bushing sag and spring droop.Be sure your alignement is correct with the ample body preload and forget about it.

Im sure Danny at lethal would just look at it to ease your mind. In fact I know they would. My whole car had the suspension done there and ran 9's all day. But .5 was what my ws6 was before I put the qa1's coilover's.
