I have eibachs (I thought they were hotchkis) installed before i bought the car...driver side in the rear sits almost 1/4"-1/2" lower that the passenger side...Is this from the spring or the strut?? the fronts are even..if it was the spring you would think they would settle equally. What would cause this?


Edit: I dont have an adjustable PHR yet, only solid aftermarket if that has anything to do with it

I searched, and found this is common, however most said it was common the exact opposite way...driver side being taller...well my passenger side is lower, weird

Are the springs installed in the same direction? (is the end of the pig tail facing the same way?)

I have had the same problem, the spring installation will make little to no difference. From what I noticed, it's not the springs, it's the car. I switched to hypercoil rear springs and it's the same way. There's your sringent USA factory tolerences for ya. There was a post in the appearance section where a guy made spacers to even out his. I am actually switching back to my pro-kit rears with a ground control ride height adjustment kit to even it out. with the kit on the lowest setting the car sits a bit too high, so I'm having one of the top coils cut off, that should put me right where I want to be with the adjustment. The rear springs are progressive so the top few coils just lay on each other so I don't think cutting on off will make a big deal. I need a little extra clearance in the rear with my GSD3 315's...

Are you measuring on level ground? Or are you eyeballin it ? Make sure the car is not loaded with anything, and jounce the car up and down, to get everything to settle evenly. Then measure.

Whats shocks are you using?
