Springs can sag over time. A good start point is to adjust the coilovers evenly on a bench, then put them on the car. That way you have a reference point if you adjust. It is ideal to have the car weighted for each wheel (adjusted using individual wheel scales) to ensure balance.
I would check the pn on the springs to make sure you have front springs in the front, rears in rear. Springs can sag over time, but unlikely to sag the way you are describing it. Unless your uncle weighs 400lbs and fawked those driver sides up real bad. Another thing to look at, make sure your rears are even. If one of rear is higher than other, it will be hard to even out fronts.

Hatch and sedan use same springs. And weight of the trip isn't even off by that much. If i was working on it, id probably raise all 4 corners and see if it levels out and go from there. Springs can sag over time but I've never seen or heard of one corner sagging that much more than the rest.

hhahahaa... you killed me with that comment... But on the real, Mike kills it with the pics.
Great rides everyone! Lovin' that blue hue a few pages back.
Does anyone know of a link where I can go check some tutorials on our cars? Like taking off rear plate recess, changing window "frames", changing ac console lights, that sort of thing? I googled it and found nothing quite how I imagined it could be. Easy... lol
Thanks in advance.
PEACE and keep them pics coming.

Ace, those bulbs are easy. The ones for the AC. You need a screwdriver. Pull down the knee panel under the steering column. Just undre that is access to the screws for the center panel. Unscrew the screws holding the center panel on, the one with the power outlet. Open the glove box, unscrew the screws for the other side of the power outlet panel. That gives you access to the bottom of the AC control. Using your fingers as eyes, feel around behind the panel and try to find the 2 bulbs. They screw in and out, you only need to twist them about 90 degrees and they should come loose. Pull the wire and bulb down to swap them. You can get bulbs just about anywhere. Let me know if you need more help.

I'll be at a wedding that day. I was really hoping to ride up there. Oh well, maybe I can have my car actually clean by the next one!

I also have a problem with the rear plate recess because of my subwoofers... thet keep unscrewing it and it rattles with the bass.. I hate it. So I'll have to figure how to take it out to minimize the situation...
But thanks. When I try to deal with the lights I'll give you some feedback.
PEACE

np man enjoy the wedding. If your car is not ready by the next one just come out anyway to enjoy the day remember it's not a competition. Hopefully some clean 4drs show up
