Thumbs up Uneven wheel gap with Eibach pro kit springs.

Well my right rear wheel gap is bigger than the left rear gap. Left side has like 1.5 fingers rear right has 2 finger gap. Would that be from not completely pre loaded or what? The suspension was put on a while ago I just never bothered posting about it. I bought the springs used. They are on the correct front/rear all around just that one side has more gap than the other side..

Half a finger difference isn't bad. I think it is fairly common for the drop not to be perfectly even. Older shocks start to sag, especially driver side because most people drive there S solo 95% of the time.
You may have had that slight difference even before you changed springs.

i had this problem in my previous car. the question is do you have a passenger with you at all times when you drive the car? if not, you have to keep in mind that all the weight of one person is just on the drivers side everytime you drive will settle a bit lower than the passenger size with no weight. my car stock looks like its leaning to the drivers side a bit. i hope i helped a bit..

Ok cool. Yeah I usually drive by myself for the most part so that must be the reason then. I don't remember if there was a difference before the springs or not. I just know there was a huge amount of wheel gap haha.
