Dropped AE86, rear not even now ... help

[Red_85_AE86]

Megan Racing Springs 2" and short KYB Adjustables.

After the install i noticed that the rear is not even, the left side is lower the the right side.

What can i do to fix this ?

[Twincam16]

adjustable panhard rod.

Ohhhh .... so those are not gimmics.

Should you adjust it with the driver in the car to even hight ?

What other aftermarket goodies can i get that are worth the upgrade ?

I know a flywheel will make a big difference in the nature of the car, that is on my list ... than a short shifter .... rims and tires.


What else ?

if you dropped your car, get some camber kits.

I have the front TEIN chamber plates installed .... how does a bing angle affect drivability / ware on tires ?

Boy ... did i ever, i had the car lowered, chamber plates, NCRA, pahnard rod, 4 link and i was driving it around trying to get this tug / wobble on the steering wheel fixed and it took me 3 visits to the alignment place and they could not figure it out ( they kep on blaming the "non-factory" parts ) but i took it to a backyear mechanic ... the put it up, looked around, took a look at the tires and told me to replace the front right tire.

I got a used 30$ tire and the car drives like a champ, but all those weeks before that i was so pissed off at myself, at the car, at the money i spent, at incopitent mechanics .. etc

The ride a a bit rough now, but it is all good, i am looking to get the 1 piece driveshaft soon, a flywheel and pulleys, lsd and than i will give those ITBs a try .... though after i did some research many say that it is a big hassle to get the ITBs to run on the V16.

Maybe i just need to do more research / find someone who has it running on their V16

Hey, I lowered me 86 and had the same problem. I got an adjustable panhrad rod, but I just can't get the rear ligned up properly. which alignment shop did you go to?

Sup .... my name is Eugen too ( no "e" at the end )

But yeah the guys who installed my ruspention ( KLOTZ Auto, small dad/son muscle car shop, look them up in yellow pages ) all they did is use a measuring tape and measured the factory parts dimentions, than put in the new parts and evened out the pahnard rod with the car on the hoist.

When i took it to the alignment shop they tweaked out the rear just a bit and said it was almost perfect.
