I have a set of Koni yellows with Ground Control on my car, they have been on there for about 4 months now, and I have noticed that the springs have settled over time. I had my alignment done about 3 weeks after putting the suspension on. Now with the spring settling more, wouldnt this alter the alignment specs I got a while ago, is it adviseable to get a new alignment? I noticed my springs have settled more, because initially my car never rubbed in the rear, now I noticed the right rear is rubbing quite frequently on the rear bumper?

 

well usually the shop who did your alignment gives you a year warrenty on it..When I did my alignment last week GoodYear gave me a print out sheet of the specs. One problem with this, goodyear notice my S was lowerd and their not supposed to work on my car like that but they did but they told me the aligment will not be under their warrenty. Some shops do this..others wont..I guess you just have to be lucky. But if you can take it back to them and tell them the alignment feels off a lil bit and see if they can check it for you for free. If the alignment shows it hasnt moved and its set right..then I think your gonna wanna check if your shocks are going bad..

 

Well the shocks are not going bad, its just the springs settling. I have found out another problem now which is bothering me. When I set my ride height, I had to set the Ground Controls at different heights in order to get a level ride height in the rear. The left rear has a lot more spring compression than the right rear. At the same height, I am rubbing on the right rear and not the left rear, and its because the right rear has less spring compression, and I am guessing this is allowing more suspension travel. This is driving me nuts.

 

Yeh I didnt think the shocks were going bad anyways, but something to rule out.. I know on normal shocks with springs, have rubber spacers which some ppl cut to lower their car or remove them and depending on how tight you srew the bolt on top the spring just gets compress...IDK if this factor stays the same with coilovers which is what iam assuming you have since you said you set the ride height. So if you have those spacers maybe one was left one..idk..
