You're saying you have a leveling out issue?
Our cars in general can be dipped more in the rear than the front.
How did you install the coilovers out of the box?
Tell us your exact steps.

my carDomain updated 11/5/07 I've got premium. Yes I do. I've got premium. How 'bout you?
1.took them out of the box
2.installed them
3.ajusted them all the way down
4.put wheels on
front sits perfect the pass rear was sitting higher then the rest (bigger wheel gap) them i put that one on the driver side and had the same problem sitting high
is the ring sitting up higher on that one then the rest?
no i just got off the phone with tein and they told me to ajust it to compensate for the difence in so it will sit right cause they dont know how the shap of the car is in or something like that
well my suggestion would be to park the car on level ground
then go crank the coilovers up a couple threads....cause the teins will blow all the way bottomed out. 2.3 turns from the bottom shoudl be ok.
the teins will sit higher in the back than the front.

Ok,
Nothing wrong with that.
Like folks said, just find the level ground and adjust.
Going by the Tein instructions,
1. Take them out of the box
2. Adjust max stiff then back out 8 clicks.
3. Make sure the locks on the sleeves are tight.
4. Install them on the car
At this point you may or may not adjust them.
But I don't think they should ever be bottomed out.
Not initially.

ok talk to joe at tein and he said that i have to go with diffrent springs in the back BUT THE CARS IS PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND we went through all the adjustments and tryed to level out the rear and the driver side is sitting an inch to high so he said i have to much weight but all my weight is evenly in the middle so that would not do anything i think one of the springs arent right but why would one sit high and not the other or vise versa so thats why they want to up the spring to a stiffer spring
you have speakers in te back?
full of gas?
yes to replace the back seat but all weight is evenly placed 1/4 tank of gas
