Hmmm.... I should check mine. my rear passenger side sits higher than drivers side... driving your car with no passenger can EVENTUALLY have an affect on it, it'll take time, but if you drive the car without somebody in the passenger seat more often than not where you sit will eventually sag, but new springs, and new shocks and struts, shouldn't be an issue.

The springs arent new they were on when i bought the car the shocks are new though. My passenger side is looking lower than my driver side.

Ok so i just went and jacked my car up and noticed that the pig tail on the passenger spring is facing towards the driver side of the car. And the pig tail on the driver side is facing towards the passenger side of the car. What way should i ahve them facing.

well the first people said driver side, then the second person said pass side, then the other guy said towards the rear of the car. So I'm going to have to say point them toward the front of your car.



lol, for real tho, I would call Eibach

Yeah i called them but apparently they close at 4pm. Do you guys think i should pull off the upper isos on the back i dont have lowers. And also what if i cut like a little off of my springs in the back like a 1/4 of a coil or something how much would that change it?

So last night i pulled out the iso,s from the back of my car didnt reallynotice much of a difference. How ever i went and checked all the pressure in my tires and found that the side that the gap looks smaller on only had about 28psi in them, and the side that looks higher had about 34psi. So i have them both at about 29 psi now. The gap looks closer i think just one side looks a little bigger to me still. Maybe its just me imagining things. I was thinking though when i put on the shocks could i have made one side tighter cause it to be pulled down more?
