Uneven ride height

Postby broady » Fri Jan 29, 2010 7:16 pm

Hi guys,

I noticed a while ago that my rear passenger side is sitting higher than the drivers side.

Should I adjust my coilovers to compensate for this? I'm 100% sure that the perch height is even, so there must be something else going on here.

I'm getting an alignment tomorrow at Spinning Wheel, maybe I should just leave it to them? If it is just a case of readjusting the coilover I'd rather do it myself to save the workshop cost.

My NA sits slightly higher on the drivers side when I'm not in it but my coilovers have been cornerweighted.

not sure what the problem is, it's been raised on this forum but no solid evidence of what causes it. i've got the same thing on my NB :oops: i think it's got something to do with the chassis & the driver side is always occupied? i could be out with the fairies.
i can't brain today.. i have the dumb..

Went to Spinning Wheel cos I couldn't find my c spanners anyway, and they raised the drivers side 8mm.
