Problem with stance on eibach prokit

Hey Guys I'm dropped on eibach prokit and for strange reason the left side both front and rear sits lower than the right side. Anyone know what can contribute to this? Will an alignment fix this?

a skinny person can over eat, and not cause a weight shift. So I would have to say being over weight(morbidly obese) would be the correct smart azz answer.

If you are going to be a smart azz, might as well be accurate about it.


To the op: Can you take it back to where you had them installed?

If you did it yourself, that may be the issue right there.

I had the same thing. The difference between the sides will change depending on what you were doing with the car before you parked it. I even took it back to the installer to have him fix it, but after jacking it up and putting it back down, there was only a difference of 1/4 inch, so I left it alone. Now I have Tein Flex and I can just adjust it myself ;

I couldn't help but say it I wasn't being a smart *** about it though. I had the eibachs on and the issue i had with mines was that my rear was higher than the front but it settled some in the rear. You've had the eibachs for a while so it's not a matter of them not having time to settled. You might want to look at your struts.

A car will never look completely even. There are differences in spring lengths, the road surface might not be completely level, load, etc.

I guess I should have added a smilie to soften it a bit

I have unrevised 350z springs up front and g35 coupe springs in the rear. I'm thinking about going with Tein Basic coilovers though now. I'm just holding off until I move back to the mainland.

Are the Tein basics compatible with the X
