  • Need some help...non-lowered 98-up birds....

    I got some lowering springs on my Formula and we didnt think to measure before we got them installed. The car was alot lower on the passenger side by about an 1" or more then they driver's side when I picked the car up. It has settled a little but I still come up with different measurements on each side. The front are about the same on each side. In our garage we got these measurements from floor to top of fender:

    Driver's side front: 26-1/4"
    Driver's side back: 28-1/2"
    Passenger side front: 25-7/8
    Passenger side back 27-1/2"

    You can see there's an inch difference between the rear on each side :( . Although when I measure from the top of the wheel to inside top of fender wall I get only 3/8" difference (fender gap).

    What I would like please.....if someone could measure their 98 and up bird's height on a level surface from ground to where the fender starts. We think the driver's side rear is the same as stock. Any help is appreicated!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Thanks

      could be that the car's weight isn't evenly distributed. more weight=less height, less weight=more height.

        Take all measurements from the center of the wheel.
