Default Just got back from getting a rotation and now my left rear is lower than the rest.

I've got Tanabe Sustec Pros on all corners and had 1" wheel gap before the rotation. Is it possible something got screwed from them jacking up the car improperly or is this something that should go back to normal. Also, the Sustec Pros are adjustable height and I measured the rears and they are exactly the same at the threads on the sleeves. Any info would be great.!

LOL... you paid someone to rotate your tires?

On to the question at hand, rotating tires has nothing to do with suspension settings.

The only way it could affect the suspension settings is if the grease monkeys touched your suspension. The springs had already settled before you went in to get your tires rotated, right?

LOL Actually it was a free rotation. America's Tire Co. does free rotations for anyone and I was just in the area so I said what the hell... But ya, I've been driving the car for a while now so the springs settled in long ago. Do you think the spring is prematurely sagging?

Could be one of the springs didn't seat yet/afterwards.

CW = Clockwise

CCW = Counterclockwise

Please don't get offended like the last person that didn't know what CW was.

I think me and my friends have the record for rotating tires without air tools. 4 min with 4 people and 1 floor jack

Take advantage of this and install a Kaaz first.
