Del Sol Wierd Suspension Problem
i have Tokico Blues with GC coilovers and for some reason On the back i adjust the coils to half sleeve on both rear wheels and the driverside is like 5 inches of wheel gap but the passenger side barley comes up at all, my passengerside sleeve is at half sleeve, my driver side is SLAMMED the sleeve is bottomed out , but the ride hieght as far as wheel gap is the same?????? i dont understand how this is happening, i have the right springs on the right struts, it used to do this with my GC coilovers and stock struts, if anyone has expierenced this please let me know what the **** is going on! Thanks
the sleeves are going to be at different hights for the most part due to different weight on them.
Just keep tweeking them until you get it.. It can take a few times on and off the jacks, but after a while, you'll be set.
What I did, was start with the sleeve 1/2 way up/down on all 4 sides. Then mesure them at each side and use a level to see if everything is ballanced. If one side is way lower/higher then the others, just tweek it until it's as close as possable and snug everything up and taker her for a ride to get things settled. Then remesure everything.
Ohh, don't forget the barking brakes. Sometimes that makes a difference..

No i have the car perfectly level on the ground, thats why it wierd on the driver side rear coil its lowered all the way, on the passenger side rear the the perches are only like 10 threads down but the car sits perfectly level on the ground....its wierd
You may have the "honda lean". My 99 hatch does. It sits lower on the front driverside than the rest of the corners when on stock suspension. I have to level it out myself with the coilovers. One of my rear coilovers are lowered all the way and the other 3 still have threas to go lower, but the car is sitting perfectly level.
