Ride Height

[Mr. TroPiCal]

Ok i returned my Ws6 to stock suspension because it was dropped like 2 1/2 inches when i bought it and i kept scraping the underneath and the ride was really shitty and it sat lopsided...

anyways, i replaced the supspension and the ride is beautiful now, but its still sitting higher on one side....im gonna have it looked at next week but just wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong

[79 Z28]

it was probably hit, reparied shitty, and the unibody is tweaked to shit, making the suspension dynamics all wacked out ;D :P j/k j/k

Just sandbag (or use the ever popular redneck choice of cinder blocks) the high side. Easy, cheap fix.

ok i have no idea what your talking about...offer some constructive imput >:(

maybe the last owner had a really heafty hoe in the pass side all the time and now shes not there, and the suspension is recoiled perminately now :P

[Mr. TroPiCal]

ok, lets say that was the case, what do i do to even it out.....


also, i might buy some lowering springs (want about 1 1/2 inch drop), what should i get, where and how much

ok on a serious note, the spring and or the shock/strut ride height. id check to see if those components are in good order, i garuntee thats whats causing it, either that or your car is bent :P heh but its prolly not that :)

[Mr. TroPiCal]

what should i get, Eibach Pro kit or sportline?

[ianwells100]

prokit... sportlines are too low

Haven't we already been here on the whole "what springs should I buy thing?" ::) Just cut em already!

How far is it off? Get the car on a flat surface and measure the distance from the ground to the top of the fender well. Mine is 27" all the way around. Then, you may want to support the rear sub-frame with stands and see if its still crooked up front, or vice versa. Has the car ever been in an accident? Any signs?

i hope your joking about cutting them...... >:(

it sits equally high on the right side in both the front and the back...so i dont think the chassis is twisted or anything cause you'd get unequal heights in the back compared to the front wouldnt you?

i dunno, my mechanic is gonna look at it this week, and im gonna put on some Eibach's because i want it lower but not so low im gonna scrape every bump i hit like i did with the other springs...

[Mr. TroPiCal]

turns out these cars suspension are tuned to level out after the driver is in, its level all the way around to within 1/16" when the driver is in...craziness

I've never heard of such a thing for a production car, thats awesome.
