anyone know what might be the prob?

I'm running the eibach prokit with the OEM shocks and the ride is fair, but I noticed that my front passenger side sits about 1/4-1/2 in. lower than the driver side.After measuring I was sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. I've driven very modestly since the springs were put in and I think I would notice a failed shock/strut. Anyone encounter this prob?

who isntalled the springs? it could be a matter of not getting them completely set into the pocket. Also cars do sit differently at different corners but .5 inches seems a little much

A new set of front springs was just installed because I thought I had a saggy spring. The install was perfect. Sag is still there.

and the ride is not noticeably bad on that side? If it is not it could just be the way the car is going to sit

Jared, take a look at the chart in post #1 here... mine was off at different corners prior to install, but was remedied by Hotchkis. Yours may have always been this way as well, but became noticeable as you were scrutinizing the new look. I would take it back to the installer and have them take a good look.

Thanks for the link Linda. I was supprised to see the stock ride heigth differences on the chart. I guess I just don't understand how the ride heights could be corrected by changing the springs.This doesn't seem like an install issue. I had them installed by a reputable shop and have been back 3 times with no luck. Maybe I should go see the hotchkiss guys. Air ride tech is also an option i have bee pondering

FYI, in case you missed the post..
Hotchkis Performance is hosting an Open House next Saturday, Dec. 10th, a perfect opportunity to get all your suspension questions answered. I can't make it as I'll be on the Polar Express train to the Grand Canyon with my grandkids, but fatchance and a few others are planning to go so you might want to check in with him. Here's the thread, a sticky in the SouthWestern forum... good luck.

The folks that installed your springs may have torqued everything down with the suspension unloaded. You should loosen everything up then re-torque with the car supporting its own weight.

See if that does the trick.
