    Any one else had this problem - if so how did you solve??

    I had springs fitted last friday - looks amazing from one side, drives perfectly, handles fine but the passenger side sits about 10mm higher at the back than the drivers side and is bothering the hell out of me

    My mechanic thinks im nuts but Im 100% sure its different - I can see the writing on one of the springs is facing rearwards but the other is facing the opposite direction - would this make any difference?
    I know the bottom of the coil is sort of cut off so my thinking is that if the cut off part is at the back of the platform the car would be lower than if the spring is fitted the other way round so the cut off is at the front of the platform

    Any help would be much appreciated - I hate the week before FCS - always so stressful!

    Thanks

  2. When I fitted my cook sports iirc the rears had to be a specific way round...others will be able to confirm that i didnt just dream it but maybe it's that.. think they even had markings for left and right

    can anyone confirm this^^??
     
  4. It can take up to a couple of weeks for new springs to settle in. Might be worth giving it a couple of weeks to see if the ride heights settle in.
