Default Question?

Alright, since I've had my car It has sat a little higher on the passenger side that the drivers. Well I figured it was cause of the spring being worn out or something. As most of you know, I recently installed H&R SS's and my car is still sitting about half an inch higher mostly in the front on the passenger side. What do you guy's think you cause this, a worn out strut? What?

what year is your car? Could very well be blown. Get the wheel off and spring and compare the two sides with absorbancy.

Car is an 02, and what do you mean compare the two sides with absorbancy? Do you want me to compress the to struts, and see if one is easier to compress than the other?

Its not the struts they just absorb bumps. the springs determine ride height.if a shock or strut is blown it will just be bouncy

Make sure the pig tails are in the same spot on both sides.

see if both sides have both spring isolators on them. if one is missing one that would explain the ride height difference.

They are bot sitting right, they both have the isolators on them, and my car was like this with my stock springs as well. I'm going to go back and remove my isolators today, and double check every thing so.
