Default coilovers

okay the car i want to get is dropped on coilovers in 3 wheels.. but one rear tire isn;t dropped and its on stock suspension still.. my question is that do u think that he drove the car for quite some bit now that it may have tweaked the unibody a bit or bent something.. i mean the wheel that isn't dropped has alot of wheel gap.

its not like the car was used in autocross or abused? let me know..

once i pick up the car i'm going to instal the 4th coilover asap..

Interesting.......I doubt the unibody is tweaked. but the suspension parts are probably beat. (struts, coilover springs, ball joints, tie rod ends, wheel bearings).
When you install the 4'th coilover, go over everything and check it good to make sure no damaged was done to the parts listed.

Basically, jack the car up and try to move the tires. if any have any excessive play in them, then check them further.
Push the top of the tire in and pull the bottom out then do the opposite. then do the same for side to side.
Look at the springs to make sure none are cracked.
Check the struts for fluid leaking from them.

all this just to make sure unbidoy isn't tweaked..

or to make sure that riding around with only 3 wheels dropped didn't causes other suspension parts to fail?

just to check the suspension parts. better to be safe than sorry
you already know the kid is a idiot, double check his work. Cheaper to check it, than fix it when it breaks
