I got a set of Tein S-Tech Lowering Springs on my car and I have notcied this for a while, but wasn't sure what to do about this......the rear driver side seems to be a half inch lower than the rear passenger side.

I say this because I can get one finger in straight in the rear passenger side well, whereas I can barely get a finger in on the rear driver side well.

Has this happened to anyone else.....anyone know what the problem is?

 

its hard to tell, Tein is a WELL known company that has a good reputation. its common for sagging to occur with cheap/affordable springs. poor quality and construction. you pay for what you get. sometimes its just bad luck, and even if you do go with a good company you just get a bad set of springs. most good places have a "no sag" guarantee though.

 

if its that noticable you should call tein. i know they have a one year warranty on a certain about of sag on their s-tech's. hit them up and tell em the situaiton.

 

Were they professionally installed?

 

Yes.....

I just went outside and measured the distance from the ground to the bottom of my rear bumper on both sides, here are the measurements:

Driver Side Rear Ride Height - 23 cm or 9.00551 Inches
Passenger Side Rear Ride Height - 25 cm or 9.84 Inches

Essentially, the left side is lower than the right side by almost an Inch....

I wouldn't have a big problem with this if it didn't do anything to my car....but with my big 215-45-17 tires the left tire manages to touch the fender or inner wheel well over small bumps....and that really isn't too safe as my tires could pop or any good for my Proxes because it'll scrape them right up.

I'd love to switch to Coilovers, but I can't really afford the nearly $3000 CDN to buy a set of Tein or JIC Magic Coilovers.
