After the installation of my KYB AGX and H&R Sport springs one wheel sits higher than the rest. In the front there is about a 2 finger gap on both of them. But on the rear, the one on the driver's side is 2 finger and the one on the passenger side is a little over 3 fingers. I know I installed everything correctly. I've doubled and tripled checked and I can't find the problem. Anybody have any ideas? Also, which one on the rear would be the correct one? Thanks.

 

did you drive the car yet to make sure every thing is properly seated

 

Yes, I've driven it quite a bit. It has been 2 weeks since installation so I guess that is enough time for everything to settle.

 

1)how much gas is in the car?
2)kinda dumb, but is the ground flat?

same thing happened when i put my RSR springs in, the driver side rear is lower then the pass. side rear. it ended up to be my LCA was bent!

1) 1/2 a tank
2) Yes, it is level ground

I'll check the LCA.

 

1) Verify the spring part #'s.
2) Take it to have a full alignment done, any bent/broken suspension components or chassis damage will show up here.

So I take it you didn't compare the springs when they weren't installed on the car? Or did you, and were they the same height when not compressed (speaking of the rears only)?

 

this is a pain, but measure everything, and then swap the rear springs.
if the gap doesn't change, it's the car.
if it flips to the other side, it's the spring and then you call rsr and yell at them

 

something sounds bent

 

do the struts have perches that are molded onto the strut? or are they metal perches you slide over the struts? if they are metal perches, make sure you have them placed properly on both sides so the spring coil seats so the coiling starts in the proper spot.
