this may be kind of stupid but i have been looking at my car a lot as i walk by it since i can not drive it right now and for the past few days and drivers side is much lower then the passenger side. yes the ground is level where the car is sitting at. you can see the car kind of leaning over if you get back about 10ft and look and then you can feel it the wheel gaps too. the ride height is not adjustable either so i know that is not it. this may be nothing but im not sure so some help would be nice. if need be i can try and take some pictures of it. i am wondering because if i get my car fixed by tuesday at about midnight i am loading up and driving back home for thanksgiving break and i have a lot of crap to take home with me. thanks in advance.

Cory

My experience is that the driver's side shocks/springs go out faster than the passengers side. I know my driver's side is around 1 1/2 inches lower than the passenger's side. BUT my Tein's are being put on in the morning.

I'd suggest installing new shocks if your using a slip-over coilover set-up. If you're using a true coilover set-up ... look into getting the shock re-valved.

Hope this helps.

Check your lower ball joint on the driverside.

Thats how every DC,EK,or EG I have ever seen is. I just installed a new tein ss suspension on my car and it is still the same 1/4 inch lower on the driver side it has always been.

i had the same issue wth my nonadjustable lowered suspension.

do you ride alone?

if you do switch the springs left to right... i did this and it solved my issue.
