Hey guys, I have buddy club RS coilovers and I have noticed the my driver's side on the rear sits a little lower than the passengers. I took some time today to inspect the coilovers maybe I had made a mistake on lowering the car (I thought maybe i left the passenger higher) but not they measure the same length.

Can you guys think of something? I am talking about 5mm difference; its a noticeable to me.

BT they way I measure is with a digital caliper from the second locking right at the bottom of the spring to the lower locking ring which keeps the shock from turning. So in the rear i have a gap of 135mm and I in the front 85mm.

I was thinking of lowering the passenger side -5mm (130mm) to even things out....


Suggestions welcomed !

 

well, I guess I'll try to reply here.

You need to get your car corner balanced. The left side of the car is heavier than the right side from what I see on corner balancing posts. When I installed my coilovers, I had to adjust the left side 10mm higher than the right. Initially, I had the left 5mm higher but it still needed raising. The best way to get this balance right is to take it to the scales and see exactly how much weight is on each corner. Its more noticeable on the front of the car than the rear. 5mm higher on the left rear was enough to even out the back on my install.

I could be on this, but thats what I think.

 

okay, I need a shop in miami... thanks though.
is that how corner balancing is done? by raising and loweing corners? or does preload is what is changed? do you know?
