    Questions on Dropped Car

    Hey Guys,

    So in February I asked a few questions about dropping my car and ended up going with the Tein lowering springs and GR-2/Excel G struts. 1. The front still seems a tad higher than the back and there is a noticeable difference in height on the driver front side compared to the passenger front, Is that common or did the mechanic f*ck it up? 2. Since the drop i cant really have people sit in the back of my car. When i have 1 person in the back the car feels extra bouncy and usually scrapes if i hit a bump or the road dips. so im scared to even attempt to let 2 people sit in the back. do any of you experience that?

    will post pics ASAP to give a better reference on car height

    Sounds like something was installed incorrectly...

    maybe you put one of the fronts upside down. also check if theres a specific for left spring and right spring for front & rear

    Cool as soon as i get a chance ill look into if the springs are put in right. Any ideas on the back of my car not being able to bare any weight?

    If I remember correctly my tein springs are marked with a r or f after the part number. You should check to make sure the f is in the front and r is in the rear. Also check to make sure the springs are all on there strut perch correctly.
