Guys,

Hope everyone is doing well!

I have an interesting puzzling question.. I am putting on my coilovers and cant get the front to sit at same height. Rear is fine and is set at 25” from ground to top of fender. Front however, I cant get to sit even on drivers and passengers sides.

My drivers side spring and perch may be quite tightened and high up on the threaded body of the coilover, yet my passenger side spring and spring perch may be all the way down on the threaded body with the spring essentially dangling around when no load on that side with wheel off, YET that (passenger side) is STILL higher when I place the car on the ground... Is the drivers front side of our vehicles heavier? This just sounds bogus to me. I also tried disconnecting my sway, yet same thing happens.

I esentially cant get my passenger side front to sit any lower than about 24 6/8 even with the spring completely loose,on the threaded coilover body, yet, the drivers front will go lower with the spring tightened...

I am absolutely puzzled as this has never happened to me with any other cars.

I would appreciate any advice!

Thanks!
Paul

 

A couple of questions.....

What brand of coilovers?

You are adjusting them with both wheels off the ground?

With my JIC's, you don't adjust ride height by moving the spring perch, that is used to set your corner balance.

You adjust the height by moving/threading the shock body in/out of the mount.
