Hi, I have a MY00. When it was bone stock, I spun out when it was raining and tapped my left rear wheel into a cement block. The alignment was out of wack and I got an alignment and the tech was able to get the car within specs. Soon after, I got it lowered on ground controls and koni yellows and got an alignment. I set the sleeves on both sides to the same amount of threads, but the driver side sat lower. A member told me the only way to get the car to sit even is to get it corner balanced. However, not matter how much I adjust the threads on the left sleeve, it seems to stay the same height and is not even. I've even tried swapping the coilovers from one side to another and it's still the same. Could the LCA be bent?

Yes. It could be a bent LCA.

Also the only way to get your right height level is to LEVEL Your ride height. Even if you were to corner balance the car, it would still need to have it's ride height leveled before they would balance it. Counting threads is a rough gauge, but a tape measure and the LCA alignment bolt is the right way to do it.

 

could also be a bent knuckle. Same thing happened to me.

 

Can you elaborate on this method of measuring? I've adjusted that coil like 5-10 threads and the height seems to stay the same.

 

On a level surface, measure from ground to the center of the rear alignment bolt. It should be 220-230mm in the rear. For the front, it is the same but you use the front alignment bolt. It should be 192-202mm.

Note: The measurements are for a stock height car. Subtract the the amount of drop you are looking for.

On a Corner Balanced car, balanced with the driver in the car, the drivers side will be higher then the passengers side when the driver is not present in the car.
