- Sun Apr 25, 2010 6:35 am #189937 Well some of you may know that i got coil sleeves for my car about a month ago.. now awhile ago before the coil sleeves, i had drop springs, well after they[my school] put them on my car the passenger side rear did go as low as the rest of the car, i thought it needs to settle.. well it never droped

ok now i have coil sleeves on stock shocks and sturts
and the front i have it at the lowest it can go
and the driver side rear is at its lowest, and the put the passenger side at its lowest and it still sat higher then the rest of the car..

so on the passenger rear im only runnin just the spring, no sleeve
and the car is level wit the other side..

my question is why isn't the car lowering wit the rest of the car wit the sleeve??
the strut is blown now and it leaked all the fuild out

here is a pic of the passenger side rear


i know from school that the spring is the ONLY thing that adjust ride height

soooo can anyone help or does anyone know why
i have no freakin idea, someone suggested that the pass. rear strut is off a diff car..

Thanks
Aj

this is the only good shot i have of it on the ground rite now

Run the sleeves all the way around. When you adjust the height to where you think you want it then drop the car. Ride around for a few days to allow the springs to settle. Once that has happened measure from the top of the fender to the center of your wheel to determine how much more you need to drop the car.

The weight distribution of the car will affect how each of the springs sit.
