Slide the driver seat forward more.. Your fat ass is probably causing it to lean.. hahaha, I'm too funny.. j/k.. Yeah, with lowering springs, getting an even drop is difficult sometimes

did you ever think that maybe the 2.5 inch drop has gotten to your stock shock and OHHH you blew one? your ride should be dropped evenly in front and back as long as you use the same components at each corner.

forst off, I weigh 130, second its been like that ever since the drop was put on...and third its not a 2.5 like sig says...the guy i bought them off told me that...but I think they are 1.8's because its not even close to slammed...there was a small gap with the 14 stocks and with my 16s...


I just thought that some people might have the same problem...

I was just kidding.. What I really meant was, getting an even drop with springs is harder to do than if you had coilovers and could manually adjust each corner so it matched..

Ummm Marc, I think you have it backwards....coilovers can never be fulyl equal ince each turn of the screw will never be equal...but I agree u can counter the problem, SPRINGS are supposed to be equal since they goin on and lower it all equal, now my questions is why does it do that and...

Does anyone have this uneven problem beside me????

No, I believe you have it backwards.. The driver normally sits on the left side.. That is more weight.. The transmission is on the right side, there's more weight on the front right.. Therefore, it's putting more weight on certain sides/corners making it lower.. ******* posted a big write-up explaining the uneveness of a drop a while back before the crash.. Coilovers can be made to look equal.. My car doesn't sit awkwardly, it's all even..

damn, his name is *****'d out.. Dez posted a writeup

Springs dont lower your car.. all 100% the same all over

the left side should be a lil bit lower since the steering colum and shit is there

or maybe 1 of your shocks blew..

I got coilovers.. so i dont really care.. Just fix it :)

I say sell the springs and invest in coilovers..

Im slammed over 3 inchs all around

maybe 3.5 all around..
:)

Intake gave me the answer that I was looking for, the reason, is this a common problem? Also how do you know when one of your shocks blew? Besides the sitting lower factor which simply could be of engine displacement...

This was covered once before. The reason for the body lean on the left of the car is due to the weight distribution in the front of the car. On the left side you have the steering column much of the engine and other components that weight it down including the driver. On the passenger side you have a battery and airbox... compare the 2 weights.... much heavier on the left side.. That is the reason for the lean. want to fix it? get coilovers or coilover sleeves. This happens even with the stock suspension on. i measured it and it was about .25-.5 inches lower on the left than the right. it's just more noticeable when dropped.

Am I on ignore?? That's the same damn thing I already said in a nutshell.....

I already said: "Getting an even drop with springs is difficult"

I explained the weight difference factor with why each side/corner is heavier/lighter than the other.. I must be some sort of idiot..

Because when I tried to write it, it just gave me a bunch of ******'s, so I had to abbreviate it, and not everyone might know what "Dez" stands for..
