  • Passanger side sits lower than driver

    I don't know how long the car has been sitting like this, but I noticed it this morning, when I measure the height of the car the passenger side is sitting .5-.75 inches lower than the driver side. What would be causing this, bad shocks or springs? All of the suspension is still factory besides the sway bars.

    Its your springs man. Once it starts to lean like that its the springs

    If it were the shock then when ever you hit a bump your car would just keep bouncing. Non stop.

      Have someone measure the height with you sitting in the car and see if it sits level with the added weight on the drivers side...lol.

          I'll just add more weight to the driver's side haha. I've been wanting new springs and shocks for a while now, so here's my excuse to get them.

              Will I need to get an adjustable panhard bar when I get new shocks and springs?

                I didn't need one when I first lowered my car with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and 17x9.5 wheels with 275 tires, but now with 18x9.5 wheels and 295 tires, I'm in need of an adjustable panhard bar.

                  What shocks are you using? I'm on a pretty tight budget at the moment and don't want to spend $400 for the Bilsteins.

                    Well if that's the case go with a stock replacements. I think monroe has some for 30 each. Just don't use them with your lowered springs

                          Comfortable? Yea, no bouncing or clunking. I even have about 2/3 of a coil cut from each front spring. I'm planning on some KYB's bext year, but the almost 12 year old stock shocks have been fine so far.

                            That's impressive, if i push down on the back right corner and let go the entire car rocks back and forth a few times before finally stopping.
