Hi Guys,

i haven't been driving the 5 much lately and i had my kyb agx/kings installed about three weeks ago. I took her out of the garage yesterday and am still noticing a bigger drop in ride height in the rear right corner.. all others seem level while the rear right is just sitting approx 1cm lower.

i have heard stories of this happening but never really out what the cure for the issue. Does this this typically occur when a suspension install wasn't carried out correctly? Does anyone know of anything i can check/perhaps do myself saving me the time/cash?

Tony did the install for me but he gets pretty busy so if worst comes to worst i guess ill take it to GT suspension or something and get them to take a look/fix i guess.

There isn't a \"wrong\" way to install the suspension, and if say they mixed up the front and rear springs there would be more like a 4inch ride heigh difference, not 1cm :)

I would say, measure it properly from wheel hub to wheelarch to make sure it isn't your imagination, but also drive the car more, new springs take time to settle, and so the passenger side (ie the lighter side) might take a smidge longer to do so.
