Default having problems with tien's

i have a 92 hatch with tien master driving HA coilovers there for dc2's but thats not why im having this problem anyways im trying to get the car even all around by measuring from the bottom of the frame to the floor but on my back right coilover there is no more adjustment to raise the car down, i ran out of threads to adjust, when on my other back coilover i can go down and up about 3 more inches it sites perfect right in the middle of the threads, its even all around now but like i said im on the last thread on my back right side and im guessing this is going to cause the car to not handle well at all, does ANYONE know why i have no more room to lower the car ? also im using 15's with 205/50 and the wheel isnt even tucked under the fender or anything

thx in advanced dan

My EF does the same thing with Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers, but my car handles fine. I think my unibody is bent! Later I figured out that even though a tire is classed as being 195/60R14 the actual diameter of the tire is different between brands. For instance I have some old Pirelli P8000 tires (195/60R14) on the passsanger side and Falken ZIEX tires on the driver side. Suprisingly the Falken tire is almost half an inch larger in diameter! I measure from the middle of the fender well to to the ground and the passanger side is half an inch higher than the driver side to make it even. Just my .02 cents....

I would look at the threads on all of the coilovers and measure where they are sitting on the shocks----to check and see if the threads somehow got missaligned???? Hope this helps
