Default Suspension problems

I installed my new GC/KYB set up and I知 now trying to adjust the rear end and my rear passenger side does not go as low as the driver side. I知 talking about the collar is all the way down as far as it will go and it wont go any lower. I thought it was maybe caused by the ITR sway bar but I undid it and still no dice. I checked for any obstacles in the travel of the suspension components but it all looked god. I even checked the spring length, rates it痴 all matched. Has anyone had this problem before? What did you go to resolve it? I知 about to give up and just raise the driver side. But that痴 just going to suck.

I have that same setup, and I assure you if you drop it all the way to the ground, your AGXs will blow. They're not likely to last 12 months. I leave 2 fingers all the way around, but mine aren't exactly the same either, just very close. I count the number of rotations on the sleeves to get it close, then joust the car to get it settled and fine tune it. If you do a search I think you'll find that the AGXs are not really capable of maintaining structural integrity while damping a car dropped that low.

Thanks for the info but im not trying to slam it Im just trying to get both sides to be even. and the pasenger side does not want to go any lower than 2 finger gap. I like to ger it to about 1 finger gap but it won't go any lowe no matter what I do. I eaven swaped the struts out from side to side and no budge. I'm just going to have to bring the driver side up. Unless some one knows of a solution.

Are you sure it's settled? The same setup on my '96 GSR is quite capable of dropping it so the top of the wheel wells are below the top of the tires in back. You cut the dust covers proberly?
