spring question
ok i got some tenzo lowering springs and had them put on my factory shocks. well i noticed when i was changing my break pads after i jacked up one side a side seemed to be higher like very noticably higher i measured and it was infact higher then the one side. so my question is this because i have my factory shocks?
also i got 2 and 1/4 drop springs well they didnt drop the car like i wanted. if i got new shocks for the springs i have would it drop it more? also to me sometimes my car ride higher then somedays. this is not in my head it is infact riding higher somedays mainly one side or the other but sometimes the back is higher and what not. strange. any input? |

ok well if you jack up one side, then its gonna be higher than the other side. oh and its brake pads, not break pads.
check to make sure the springs are in there proper places, and not off. sometimes lowering springs jump off, because there is a set groove for the end of the spring and maybe it jumped out of it, which would cause it to be higher. |

sounds like you have a bad strut(s). or if they are new...they can't hang with a car being lowered and you need a better brand

Sounds like struts to me, it may not change your ride height, but will definetly ride better.And do check the spring, if its not butted up against the seat of the strut then it may act funny when you drive...

you may have one blown strut or other suspension related problem. or amybe this may sound stupid. the rear spring is on the front on one side.
