Uneven ride height
Wednesday, November 17, 2010 9:33 PM
I installed Tokico D-spec struts with Eibach sportline springs and have uneven height measuring from the ground to the top of the fender/quarter panel. I didn't measure it before doing the swap but here are the measurements...

Front Driver = 25 3/4"
Front Passenger = 25 1/2"
Rear Driver = 26 1/8"
Rear Passenger = 25 1/2"

They've only been installed for a little over 100 miles. The differences don't seem big but if you look you can tell from side to side. Just wondering if this is out of the ordinary and if not do I just have a sligtly shorter rear passenger spring? Thanks in advance.

100 miles is not nearly enough time for the springs to settle.

well, the font passenger side is heavier than the front drivers side because of the location of the engine, I couldnt tell you why the back is as different as it is. Did you try measuring it while there was someone in the driver seat?
