That would be fairly obvious wouldn't it? ..especially in the 10-11mm range.

According to goldenfri his is the same way. I'm still waiting on an answer from KW. Hopefully, I'll hear something back soon.

 

Not always. Sometimes a bent suspension arm is surprisingly hard to spot when installed on the car. Often the first clue is that the available range for alignment adjustment has changed.

 

No the KW doesn't come with pillow ball top hats. Even if it did, I'd rather use the stock top hats.

IIRC, my V3 has about a .25'' or so difference between the sides in the rear. Is the gas tank to one side of the car? I'm not totally sure if it is...it would make sense for it to be on the passenger side a little bit.

A blown shock would not cause ride height problems. Shocks do not hold up the car. They damp the spring's vibrations.


A bumpstop SHOULD NOT cause ride height changes. If a bumpstop is causing ride height changes, you have other isses. It is a BUMP STOP. As in stop bumps at extreme suspension travel. It is only active under a LOT of shock compression (depending on ride height vs. bumstop height).


.5'' is not huge. If you're sure everything is installed correctly, the EASIEST way to solve the problem is to just live with it.

Springs also settle. Plus maybe your car's suspension hasn't gone thru a bump cycle so it may not have settled either.

Drive the car down the block..see if it gets better. If it doesn't completely solve the issue, just level the car out for now.

Then drive the car for around 500 miles or so and see if it gets better. Listen for weird noises.

You'll most likely have to re-level the car afterwards.

Get the alignment done after the 500 miles.

 

B-Serious, I wouldn't have thought that a blown shock would cause ride height issues either, but someone else mentioned it so I wasn't sure.

When I mentioned the bump stop, I was referring to the possibility of forgetting to install the bottom half in the assembly. This would cause the car to sit approximately .5" lower. I had some help when I first installed these, and my helper initially forgot to install the bottom half of the stop on one of the front coilovers. Fortunately, I noticed this before I drove the car and corrected the problem.

I appreciate everyone's help. It seems that the consensus is not to worry too much. I'll just keep driving it unless KW tells me not to.

 

The car was aligned after I noticed the ride height difference and the shop didn't notice anything. I'm going to have it realigned soon to dial in some more camber so I'll have the shop check then. They do quite a few S2000's and are very reliable/competent.
