This is weird

I put in my new coilovers today, The front left and rear right are like 1/2-3/4 inch higher than the other wheels..

But the Coils and etc were measured exactly 2" shorter than the the own units

So everything is about 1-1.25 lower now


Should I wait for the springs to get worn in and get an alignment or re-install them??

What would you do?

Just wait for things to settle. You should get an alignment asap. How is the ride quality? Bouncy? Squeaky?

Did you adjust the coilovers when you put them in? I know it took me quite a few times of jacking the car up, adjusting the coils and then lowering the car back down before I got everything to the height I wanted.

I haven't driven it yet, but we adjusted them 2-3 times to make sure they were the same..

I got the Megan Racing Coilovers

you know whats wierd? my fronts are lower then my rears .. lol.... sorry 4 hijacking.. anyways... just wait for them to settle.. .when i had my car lowered (TL), it was low but the next day, it was even lower... and one of my tires were actually thicker 40 instead of 35 so the car seemed to be higher on one side... had that changed (rears are thicker) and problem solved..

check your tires... and wait it out and see..
