Default got a problem need help!!

i dropped my tc on eibach proline springs about 6 months ago, and im starting to see problems, i noticed a few days ago that my car was leaning to the left (driver side) so i went out tonight and i took measurment going from the ground up to the top of the wheelwell. the left side was a quater of an inch lower then my right, but the fronts were the same, should i be concerned? could it be the springs? maybe tire pressure(but my sensor is not going of) im really scared that something is wrong with my suspension need help please!!!

nothing to worry about, it is normal. when installing lowering springs, the driverside tends to settle faster than the passenger side because of the weight of the driver and transmission are driverside bias obviously.

you can either put some weight on the passenger side to blance it out, or alot of people park the passenger side on a curb overnight to help speed up the settling.

it isn't a problem, just kind of an eye sore.

how does parking with the passenger side in the curb help? wouldn't that trnsfer some of the weight distribution the the driverside?

Just curious.... I would think that it would makes sense to do it the other way around. driverside up on the curb so that the weight pushes down on the passenger side.

I could be way off

yeah, maybe that is right, whichever way will compress the suspension on the high side of the car.

i was lucky and never had this problem, put on my lowering springs and shocks and let it sit for a week, settled nice and completely even.

fyi your tire pressure light won't go off if you're a little low
check your pressure regularly, it takes all of 10 seconds
