Okay, finally installed the benen tie bar properly. But as I lowered the car, I noticed the car was way high than usual. I tried jumping and pushing down with my super-light body weight, but didn't work.

The rear is definitely more higher. I'm lowered on KYB AGX/Eibach Prokits, and it used to be like 1~1 1/2 finger gap. But now I'm back to stock height!!

Am I being paranoid? Will it settle back to the original drop after time? I'm just so nervous that I f**ked up something.

 

try releasing the e-brake.

have u driven the car yet?

 

Nah, I was just too shocked to think rationally so I turned to HT. hehe

I'll try the e-brake and drive around a bit. *crosses fingers*

 

it should be just the e-brake, u don't have to drive around

this happen to me to before. i had my e-brake on and i jacked up my car. then when i lowered it, the rear was noticeably higher and scared the crap out of me. then i released the e-brake and it's back to normal.

 

What's e-brake?

 

aka hand brake, side brake.

 

probably just needs to settle again it should be fine tomorrow or overnight

 

yeah release the e-brake your car should go back down.. happens all the time..

 

Put sand bags in the trunk.

 

bwhahah I'm a noob!

I released the e-brake and the car dropped.

 

LoL

Just wondering though, what does the ebrake haveta do with the suspension?

 

When you jack the car up and have the rear wheels locked (ebrake) and the front wheels chauked (wood), when you lower the car, the wheels dont turn, so the suspension cant compress.

Bascially the wheelbase of the car changes during rear suspension travel and the wheels can't roll (to allow the change in wheelbase) then the suspension wont move either.

 

hows the handleing?

 

With the tie bar? Just like when I put on the Benen rear strut bar, I couldn't really notice a big diffrence.
