long story short. me and some friends were putting in my tien s-tech lowering springs and we got them in the front but when we went to the rear we striped a bolt and broke another so i ended up ordering all new rear struts and controll arms and just yesterday we put them in and it actually raised my car higher than it was with the stock shocks and springs. so now it looks extreamly low in the front and really jacked up in the back.


anybody have an idea of why this is?


i can probably get some pictures up if needed.

assuming you don't have the front springs on the rear, most likely the bushings in the lca are causing it. the reason for this is when you tighten your bolts with the wheels of the ground it causes the bushings to bind when the car is set back on the ground. this will cause your car to set high and will cause premature bushing failure. you should always tighten them with the suspension loaded. raise the car loosen the bolts slightly on the lca and put it back on the ground. bounce the car then tighten the lca bolts with the car still on the ground. use a four post lift if possible.

 

springs were on backwards..

 

lol, sucks that you had to do it twice, but hey, you learned.

 

ha yeah it does suck.


especially since the first time we striped a bolt and broke another..


im happy its all over now tho.
