grrr,i must've jacked up the car 20 times since thursday because i'm trying to even out the drop height.I measure from the ground to the middle(highest) point on the fender,front driver's and passenger side have a 1cm difference,back driver's and passenger side have a .5cm difference


..i give up,lol

here's a pic when it was slammed as hell and it still has a loong way to go down in the front,i've raised the front a bit cause i rubbed when i turned like this




?

 

Get wheels

or a lower profile tire

 

been there before...looks pretty good slammed tho...

 

Looks good!

I pre-adjusted mine by measuring them while they were off the car to a height that might be appoximately where i wanted it to sit, but I guees that would be too late for you!

i actually did that counted how many threads and all,but somewhere between sliding the sleeve in and mounting the strut assembly on the car and taking it off jack stands,the results i got werent exactly awesome

 

When measuring DO NOT measure from the ground to the fender. The ground is inconsistant and so are tire pressures making each side different. Measure from the highest point of the curve in the fender/middle to the center of the wheel. This will give you an accurate measurment.

It seems that way but not true, based on the geometry of the suspension the distance of the center of the wheel to the fender will be consistant. When I worked at Ground-Control this is how we would measure for corner weighting cars.

 

what kind of coilovers?

Just lower all coilovers all the way down.

oooohhhhhhhhhh....

 

BJ is right. Except keep in mind that if you have ever had a little fender bender and didn't get things exactly right, they may be different.

No nothing moved most likely. the weight at each corner of the car is different, so the amount that the spring will be compressed is also going to be different. Which will give you different heights at each corner.


Honestly though, you guys are freaking out about 1 or even .5 centimeters. NO ONE will be able to tell, and most likely you weren't on perfectly flat surface, so it wasn't really level to begin with.

Also a big factor, I forgot to mention that.

 

wheels and youll be set
