Default Ebay coilver question

No one bash me for having ebay coils. Save it i dont care. Anyway. I see all these cars on ebay coils and their cars are like riding frame. My car dorsnt seem to be as low as it should be? Any reason why that could be. Also driverside is different height then pass. Side both are on same spots and maxed iut. Any ideas?

Dont make the coils even, make the car even.

Measure a similar spot on each side or the body and adjust accordingly to make it even.

It will always be like that, racelands, no names or whatever.
The car wasn't level from the factoy, why would it be different any other way?


There's noithing wrong with them being on different levels at all, its normal.

Is it possible that you have the coilover upside down?

Either way your only option is to raise the maxxed out side lol.

its because people that have them slammed did it the right way. you know the seat your spring sits on? your supposed to cut that out and then your coilover kit goes all the way down. then you have coilovers lol. i had the same problem. if you wanna know more pm me. actually heres the link.

as far as the height difference thats your frame. you need to adjust the coils accordingly. for instance im a big guy.. so when im sitting in my car it leans to the left a little ahha

Your wrong.

These will never be a "full or one peice" coilover, no matter what you do.

There is absoluty no cutting needed, period.
Only in some cases it is recomend to flip the rear shock perch over, that is it.
