Default new a-spec.... sitting lower.... like old

story: i bought the car for cheap, found out there were some more problems with it than stated. one that bugs the hell outta me is the drivers side rear seems to sit an i3/4"-1/4" lower than the other...

just bought the a_spec suspension for it (for all four) and did the swap. (thinking that the old shock on that side was messed up...

it is still sitting about 1/4" to 3/4" inch lower than the other side. (messuring from bottom of rim on both rear sides. both have the same air pressure in them. also measured from the ground. its noticeable while looking at it from the rear that it sits lower.

any sugesstions?.........


i was thinking having my buddy make a 1/4" metal spacer to sit on top of the shock mount?.... what do you think?

I think you should probably find out why the car is sitting so oddly first.

YEAH, Sounds like a twisted frame

did you do a vehicle report check?

anything odd on there...

fix the problem, not a band-aid "spacer" if you want to keep the car.

if not, sure, throw a spacer in it! then just get it aligned! then, SELL SELL SELL
