uneven drop w/ all lowering springs
i had trd springs and now i have h-tech, whats the deal with the rear/right (passenger side) being higher? someone said you have to rotate that spring a certain way, but doesnt the bottom of the spring fit into a groove on the shock? after my trd's settled the rear pretty much evened out (still off) iv had the trd springs w/ stock shocks and trd shocks and now with the h-techs its still uneven.
btw, the h-techs are way better than trd, not only is it lower but the ride is smoother than trd, you gotta go h-techs w/ 19's

I haven't had a problem with my df210's.
They probably settle a little uneven if you don't have many passangers. If you don't you have more weight on one side vs. the other which would cause the drivers side to sit a little lower. It shouldn't be that big of a difference if it is uneven.

When you put everything back together did you tighten everything ALL the way down. The passenger side actually gets tightened down more that the driver side. Also make sure you put the rear struts back on the correct side as they are not the same like some cars.

^ Torque specs looked the same to me in the install for both sides....
They are side specific and the springs need to sit in the grove right and be decompressed slowly and perfectly aligned for the mounting in the rear, if they are off, they won't sit right and may "Pop" as well.

how do you know what side each shock goes? the grooves on the bottom of both shocks are both facing inward where before one would face outward and the other inward, so after we turned the passagerside rear shock inward to match the driver side it almost leveled it out, but it is still slightly higher on the rear passenger side. i guess ill torque that side down tighter n see what happens
