Question On Lowered Suspension, one side is higher than the other?!?!

hey. it's an 86 corolla gts. On CMR springs/ Tokico Illumina shocks.

I just noticed today that my pass. side front and rear ride height is a bit higher than my driver side ride height.

especially in the REAR, i can fit 2 fingers on top of one another on the pass. side, but on the driver side only one. and on the driver side, it's flush so that u can't see the tire tread on top, but on the pass. side u can...

i know it wasn't like this before and i have no clue as to what to do about it.. please help!

hahaha.. you're one fat ass mofo if the driver side is the only one that settled down! jk!. you need to put some weight on the passanger side of your car, If you're the only one in your car at all times, chances are the driver side springs will settle down faster due to YOUR weight. Grab some weights and put like 100lbs or more on the passanger side of your car.

Springs usually need time to settle down to their given height! But when you have pressure on them they tend to settle faster, so when you're always sitting the drive side and you don't have a passenger with you all the time, the driver side will go lower first.

Don't worry we all went through that stage and freaked out till someone explained it to us.

You can do what Ren suggested and put some weight on you passenger side or just wait till it settles completely to the right height on both sides...
