Default teg height question

i've seen multiple tegs with the rear right higher then the rear left? why is that?

i know that the front right is usually lower then the front left due to the tranny being there but i have no idea why the rear left would be lower then the rear right

this is assuming the coils are exactly the same etc

i had to drop my rear right coil more then the rear left by a considerable amount so it can be almost even but it still isnt

there is alot that goes into suspension tuning. If you are just going for looks, get out the tape measure and make it what you want it, so it looks good to you. If you are going for performance get your car to the garage or do a corner weight yourself. I'm not a pro with corner weights but what you are describing most likly has to do with a corner weight.

If you really want to have your brain explode do some searching in the suspension fourm. there is some serious engineering that goes into some peoples set ups. Its hard to follow sometimes what they are talking about, but you will learn alot.

If im out of my car the right rear is slightly higher but once im in its the same height all around,

Its just the design of my springs they are stiffer on the right hand side because that's where the driver sits.

If your using JDM(for right hand drive) springs that would explain it because they are tuned for a 75kg driver.

You could try swapping them around, They have etching on them FR.FL,RR,RL. FR being front right and so on with the others.

all springs and coils do? i have tokico blue + gc i dont see it on there regardless i'm readjusting mine

i have the same problem too but its wierd

my rear left has less finger gap then the right side

but if you look at the car from the rear my right is lower then my left????

so my right side is lower and higher at the same time vice versa

i have blues and tein h-tech springs. it's even in the back to slightly higher on the left side. JDM springs would make sense being the other way since they are RHD. normally you set up a left hand drive car slightly higher on the drivers side to compensate for driver weight.
