Have the shop check and see if the springs are correctly seated. I had the AC Schnitzer springs installed Monday and the drop were equal left and right.

I showed him the suspension diagram in the above post. told him to look at the car again. he said all suspension is gonna be off, i said ya but not by this much. so i left the car, came back a few hours later and everything was all good. he said he compressed the spring for a few hours to let is settle??? but in all honestly, i think maybe he didnt properly seat the spring cuz i didnt see a spring compressor anywhere. hahaha. maybe just his pride, but oh well. car is fixed so im happy |

glad you got it fixed. figured it was an issue with where the spring was seating or the caps by the gap you were describing. funny how some idiots will tell you that's the way suspensions are. one finger difference? don't think so. ( :

Thanks for sharing. I can't really tell from the angles you took, but was there any gap? It looks like the top of the tires sits flush with the fender which is exactly what I'm looking for. Not going for the slammed/tucked look for this car.

I just got my car dropped on H&R's. I noticed my front drivers side has like 1cm more fender gap than the front passenger side, should I take it back to the shop?
