Yea. I did notice one weird thing though.

The rear coilovers. I know for a fact, I raised them both the same distance. I double/triple measured that sh!!t.

And for some reason the rear right, sits about 1/2 to 1 inch higher, than the rear left coilover.

When denny originally installed it. He also double/triple measured. The same situation was going on back then as well. The rear right sits higher than the rear left.

Both rear shocks were replaced the same day denny installed them. So I think the shocks should be perfect.

I guess I could lower the rear right, to match the rear left. But then the coilovers would be at a different setting.

Anyone have any clue why this is happening?

Also, is my fix a plausible solution? or is it going to mess with the suspension geometry >.<

The name of the tuner, I thnk is steve. He said he was 40 or something.

Tape measure =D

Measured the distance, I had between the rings on the coilovers.

The front two, came out perfect perfect perfect though ^^

So unless me and denny can't measure, there is definitely something wrong with the rears.

Which now that I think about it. Also coincides with a weird sound that comes from the rear left.

I looked at all the nuts and bolts that have to do with the suspension. While the car was on the lift. They all look fine.

So i'm sort of puzzled as to wth it can be.

They sound similar >.<

In california, anyone who looks hispanic/latin is automatically considered a beaner/ese/wetback.

I always had to let people know. I'm actually peruvian you uncultured bastard.

I only said that to my friends though

hmmm....

thats actually a pretty dammm good idea =D

I'll try that out.

I also wonder if it has something to do with the weight distribution.

Maybe the rear left have settled properly because they see more weight?

Where as the rear right, haven't because I almost never had anyone on the passenger side?
