Suspension: Help me lower this freakin car!!!!!!

Well just one corner anyways.

I have eibach sportlines and the car lowered itself nicely all the way around. Minus the back right side.

I have always had the jack and spare taken out of that area. But it doesnt seem that 50lbs would lower the car an extra 1 1/2 "

It seems as though the whole car lowered except this corner and i dont know why.


Any thoughts or ideas?

Check your sway bar endlinks.

Sway bar endlinks dont affect ride height.

It seems like almost every 4th gen sits higher on the drivers side, on my STOCK springs I found that someone put clamps on it to lower it, strange. If its off by an entire inch or more though, I'd suspect that you lost your rubber spring mount perhaps?

I mounted my poly bushings the wrong way the first time and I got the pro-gasser look.

I retightened the endlinks and it brought the car back down.

You need an adjustable pan hard bar. Or take the spring out and cut it off 3/4 turn.

Did you happen to leave the rubber isolator out of the driver side? Try turning the sping on its pirch to see if this helps. That probably won't help. Check the spring and make sure it is a sportline and not one from a pro kit, the spring will have sportline stamped on it with a part # it should match the other side. I have these springs and have not had a problem. Maybe try to contact Eibach I am sure they will be willing to help. Hope this helps Matt[/COLOR] Don't cut your springs!!!
