so i have been kinda annoyed by this and wondered if anyone else has this happen with there lowered sn's.

not sure why but this car has sooo many different positions it will sit in. i have taken it to shows and got out...went to register and looked back at my car and the front is all fn raised, the back slammed. or the left side will look high but the right slammed. the slightest bit of incline or decline and i'm lookin all crazy.

think it's cause my wheels are big and it shows up easier...my shocks arent stiff enough? it actually bugs the hell outta me at shows cause i'll actually change spots 3, 4, 5 fn times to get it level, lol.

i've had just one wheel in the rear tuck like crazy. EERRRRR!!

Tony, I have the same issue, it is normal. It just depends on the surface that you are parking it on....a slight slope can make a difference. The only way I think to correct this is to get your self a IRS setup......

Yea it's normal and I hate it equally as much as you. I will refuse to park somewhere at a show if I do go to one if the ground isn't level.

What do you have for suspension? I find my car is usually pretty good, but i have found it will sit funny on uneven ground. But my suspension is sttiiiifff.

springs are h&r's....shocks are QA1's. but that's what i'm thinking. i have them set to the softest setting. 2 adjusters (rebound & compression). rides great but can sit crazy at times, lol.

i was stuck at a spot at a show one time with no other spot available and the whole fn show my drivers ide wheel was tucked and the rest had wheel gap, lol. POOPY!

hmm weird. But like you said you have big rims and everything so its probably more noticeable. You're adjustable shocks make that much difference with the ride? I find my adjustable tokico shocks don't have any affect on my street ride. My street ride is rough no all the time. the adjustable shocks only makes a difference on the track.

interesting! Well i guess ive never been able to experience stock suspension so i can't compare mine to that :p But i sort of like the stiff ride! Its still drivable and makes things fun. plus i drive the car alot nicer cause if i make the car do something not so nice, I experience it too :p

How are speed bumps for you? :p

I had a similar kind of issue...When lower the front of my car off the jack stands, the last side I lower will stick up way higher than the side I let down first. It freaked me out the first time it happened because I thought maybe I screwed something up with the suspension. I then jacked the lower side up and then let it down and it evened out....lol. I guess it just needed to settle or whatever. Maybe it's a vert thing...

Mine sits fairly level actually. I'm runnin Eibach sportlines with no iso's. But for a quick minute mine did sit very messed up no matter where I parked it the stance never looked the same lol. But it's leveled itself out now pretty nice. I've got stock shocks and everything else but springs

Right after I finally replaced the stock suspension finally this year on my 94, I have noticed that exact same problem tony. Sometimes I come out and its draggin the ground effects in the weeds and yet I still clear all speed bumps/dips/hell small rocks?




Is that your reaction to me tony?

Ah hell where are the smileys?!

over the summer i had mine a bit lower. so when i say it rides softer and nicer now...it is in comparison to that..not stock. stock suspension was better by far than any setup i've had on this car, lol.
