Default Espelir's are leaning

I have had Espelir lowering springs on my car for about a year now, and they are starting to make my car lean ever so slightly. Im pretty sure its the springs fault and there is no way to fix it, but I just want to be sure. Are there any springs out there that people don't have leaning issues with?

Eibach. If our springs did this and you bought them from an authorized dist. they'd be replaced no questions asked.

This is why a lot of the Japanese springs only have a year warranty

If you`ve been tinkering with the suspension, you might want to double check and ensure everything is seated properly.

I haven't touched them since they were installed.

I would go Eibach but I want it lower...

With stock springs it is common to see one side an inch higher than the other, so this is not unusual. I would not sweat small differences.

Yeah, the shocks are stock, but I dont see how they could effect ride height.

blown shocks can alter ride height.

Do you think they could be blown after only 15k or so miles?

It doesn't ride bouncy.

Most shocks have nothing to do with ride height.. the car is held on the springs and the shocks just dampen their action.
