    Ride hight, passangers side to drivers side 30mm

    Just changed shocks and springs, and there is a difference of 30mm why would this happen , It was the same before i changed the bits, where is this problem coming from?

    I'd let the springs settle for a week or so then re-measure.

    Did you change the strut mounts as well? They could be worn different amounts.

          Bent frame?

          Apparently it's not the springs. 30mm is over an inch. That's way wrong. Even the worst more corse springs on a pick up truck won't be off by an inch.

          If you kneel don by your car, and sight down it's fenders, does it look twisted?

              What type of dampers did you install? I suppose if they were adjustable and one was super soft while the other was super stiff, that could affect it...is everything sitting right? The springs are seated properly?
