Finally slammed the bich (pics)

After being absent from the forum for around 2 years i decided to post a pic of my car after i lowered it. Unfortunatelly it seems to sit about 8mm lower in the front right, it was like this before lowering also. Anybody got any suggestions as to what could be causing this? Or had the same problem?



Bad quality phne pic

I am not running pads at all, these are a new zealand made spring which is made to be run without the pad, even before lowering it sat lower in to one corner

Mine was like that too. Sat about 4-5mm lower on the passenger side. My solution was to get divorced and get a skinnier girlfriend.

Nah jk, I just got coilovers and adjusted it later. Id use a small spring pad if you can...but id be kinda worried about one side sagging that much...is your perch ok?

See if the bottom of the spring perch is horizontal.
