uneven drop
Im running tein stechs and blues on my 02 sedan, and have a very uneven drop. My car sits crooked. Drivers side there is like a nice snug 2 finger gap, but passenger side is 3+ finger gap. It annoys the hell out of me. I know that my weight on the drivers side as well as the engine being heavy on that side effects it. Has anyone else had this problem? any solutions?

Re: uneven drop
well yeah i have that too with eibach prokit and blues, its not huge like you mention, maybe only 1/2 finger difference but i do notice it changes on its own and sometimes ive seen 1 finger lower on driver side. its very strange. how old are the shocks and are you sure you have the real tein springs. there are alot of fake knockoffs that are sold as tein but the quality sucks and drop is uneven.

both springs and shocks are a like 3 months old and im sure theyre real... i dunno i guess the only option is to save up for adjustable coilovers

its very hard to get the car to sit even- even with coilovers- u have various weight issues, including your own weight and the streets are not always flat or even.

This might sound stupid, but its true, u need to put something heavy in ur trunk and drive around for a couple days, so the new springs get broken in u know.. What i did to my first car... It worked..

given that each corner is holding a different amount of weight and a spring will compress proportional to the load (weight) applied to it... the only way you are ever going to get an even ride height all the way around is to either have springs of different strengths at each corner, or springs of different lengths.
