my RF spring/strut looks exactly the same as it did before. maybe even a little higher. i can reach into the fender well from above the tire and go half a forearm deep where as on the LF side i cant get past my wrist. any thoughts? has anyone had this issue? it really bothers me that my car sits funny now. the rears are great along with the LF but the RF seems to not be right. let me note that i noticed it, took it all back apart, then put it all back together again and nothing changed. also, they are both the same size tire. i know they need time to settle but there is no way in hell thats right.

LEFT

RIGHT

Did you line the spring properly with the bottom of the strut and the strut mount? The bottom of the spring where it ends should line up properly with the strut and the top of strut mount. I have the same setup and I feel like the rear left is slightly lower than the rear so I switched the two springs around and it's the same. Try to switch your left spring with the right and see what happens.

Oh and you need new tires haha

What would switching springs do? And I'm waiting for my new wheels.

Verify Tein's are authentic., & not fake Teins.

 

[kickfli12]

Yes they're real. I have all the warranty paperwork and part numbers and from logos are printed on the springs

Might be bc of the tokico's.. I think my car sits higher on the HP blues vs the stock tokico's.. Don't quote me on it though lol

So you know if it's the springs causing this problem or the struts/something else. Did you drive it around yet to see if the height changed? Stick with HP cause those struts are designed for lowered cars and a bit stiffer compare to the stock struts which will just get blown. Also what wheels are you getting? I want those Enkeis!

lol i thought there was a more scientific answer to that lol. i knew that much. and as for wheels, im looking at getting Drag DR-20's and the enkeis are not for sale lol. also, i may have scored the grey set as well. there is a customer at work whos planning on trading in her 2000 corolla and said if i can put some steelies on there that i can have them. i can get steelies all day at our local junkyard for $5 a rim because i practically live there lol.

Does the right feel stiffer than the left? The shock might be locked up or something

Brand new springs usually take a couple of weeks to settle. After about 500 miles or so of driving it should come down a bit.
