rear ride height weird

[amiller07]

my e30 has stock springs and struts but brav. auto. springs. the rear of the car sits higher on passenger side then it does on driver side. what do i do? i like the height of the driver side i wanna make it match its like 1/2 off. oh and i took out the rubber bushings above and below springs.

prob the stock shocks taking a shit.....they arent valved that low and might have somethign to do with it. OR you one of your rear shock mounts are shot.

i was thinking the shock b/c my shock mounts are like brand new

[mattdk318i]

could be your mounts still, because they stress the upper strut mount when the shocks are longer

oh thanks for the info what do i do about hte rear camber without getting a camber kit? i dont wanna make it straight but its eating tires now so a little camber is ok.

[mattdk318i]

kinda something you need to live with. unless you can get a rear camber kit and get it welded in. Other than that you can go back up with the suspension.

is the ground perfectly level where you are seeing this? all of my e30s have done this, even with new suspensions, but usually the ground is tilted slightly.

As i stated before, shit shocks do not affect the ride height to such a degree that the car will settle at an angle or different ride height.
Is this after driving the car or did you install and set the car down, one side at a time.

best way to check this out is swap the left and right springs and see if the problem moves. if it doesnt, then the problem is weight balance (dunno what wouldnt be obvious) or a problem geometrically.

Lucky me, my car sits low on the passenger side slightly. I've put it on the scales with me in it and its fairly well balanced. ...i need more spring pads tho because i'm not entirely satisfied with it.
