I hope this is the right area to post this,

OK its 09-01-11 i installed some Tein S tech lowering springs for my 05 ap2 last night. i did the rear springs frist, super easy went in and out smooth like butter.

but when it got to the front it got a little bit complicated. ok so i compress the spring and replaced it with the teins correctly, putting the top hat correctly where its suppose to be.

ok so when i went to put the whole thing into the car it didnt match up with the holes on top. why is that? i had to adjust the top hat a little bit to make it pop in the holes, this happen on both sides of the front end, another thing the car sets even except for the passenger side its still high i wonder why?

did i so something wrong? the car rides smooth tho and looks very nice.

 

did you load the bushings when you tightened the upper arms?

i had the same thing with the top hats, there isn't anything to stop them, so i tightened them down and eye balled it on an approx location so it'll go in smoothly

 

what do you mean by load the bushing? i cut them yes, and thats exactly what i had to do with my tops hats im post some pics in a little bit not of the install lol just out the car lowered

 

Seems like you just didn't place the top hat correctly onto the spring, you probably had it a few degrees off.

 

oh no i had it exactly were it suppose to be, but i had to adjust it to make it fit. it worked, now my concern is why the passenger side sits higher than the rest

 

this is the Befor pic on the dirver side




this is the after on the passenger side

it looks like the same height right?







and i need new tires today LOL

 

ill post some more later of the others side. im at work right now, i have the rest at home! but it rides very smooth

 

 

you need a alignment lol. if you get new tires one side will still get bald.

 

lol man i just had an alignment done like 2 months ago. when i saw the front tires on in the inside do the same. but they are ok now. i believe those tires wore out way b4 i got the alignment tho i just never seen the inside
