after installing springs ride not even.

hello guys,

my TT was on H&R with no problems so i went back to stock this morning as a friends wants the springs to give it a try to his TT and faced a problem .. the ride isnt even ,,

the front end is ok but the back was a ???? the right was 30 mm more than the left .. well im sure we did everything ok ..

the car looks ugly lol .. any idea?

im thinking to get it to the dealer since its on the warranty ,, yeah thers one thing it needs alignment for sure since i drove it all day may that spring gets some brain and become normal but no luck so far and the car goes all over the road lol .. my bro was saying it needs time and some sun heat since its a strong short springs.

any ideas?

I would put it on an alignment rack or another known level surface first. but, 30mm sounds like a huge difference, are you sure you put in the right springs? (didn't accidentally put back a stock spring?)

It was on h&r and went back to stock and ended up with this. The other 3 stock springs are fine but the RR one abnormally higher. I will post pic when I get home.

I'm thinking I didn't compressed the spring and tighten the bolt well and this may affect the height.? Maybe

So I'm thinking in taking the rear once out and measure their height all along. And see.

It is 30mm and it looks ugly. I went to professional alignment shop and they it won't fix this cause its not alignment issue it involves the sitting of the spring itself.

Anyway it's a lot of work to get them out so I'm gonna do it in the weekend since I have a full week of clinics. Will post results and would appreciate any help or tips guys.

Thank you

so what do u think?

well after seeing the pictures i think both the back end are a bit higher and i think the car looks really really ugly.

and just to say the car was on H&R for years with 0 issues except it made me change my route many times to insure no harm to the lip. and it made me really hate how thw car handels now .. it was way better before

i think im going to the coilovers any suggestions which is better?

yea i did put the car in leveled area and i found that if i measure from the curve line of the tire to the top end of the fender was:

FR 100mm
FL 101mm
RL 100mm
RR 131mm

this car driving me nuts

Did you make sure that the spring is seated correctly. Most likely it's not complete seated in the strut

neither the left or right rear ride height looks stock. As other's have already stated the springs must not be properly seated.

ok so i took them both out (the rear ones)

and re-install the springs with extreme attention to every detail i obtained from the internet, and yet still the same.

i think i will just take it to the dealer and let them rip me off

and will post the end result and what was the problem
