    Question

    As you all may know I installed my suspension a while ago and had problems with it then. I installed as eibach pro-kit and tokico 5 way adj shocks and the progress 22mm sway bar. I fixed all the problems I had with the sway bar but now the rear drivers side is lower the all the rest,(like 1/2" of so). Ive yet to call the companies but will do so tomawrrow at work. What do you all think is the problem? I had it done at a nice shop and even helped so I know it was done right. Ive checked everything and nothing seems to loose or tightened to much. Its just racking my brain. The car handles great, Ive already autocrossed the car once and will do it again on sun. I would like to know if anyone else has had these problems.
    thanks in advance, Ill let you know the outcome after speaking to the vendors.

    How do you test this out and measure it ? Because the car will sit funny depending on how u park it.... to measure it properly you should park it on flat road and make sure there is no brake.... then go out and push the car back and forth a bit .... Then measure...

    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    The KYB's would have been a better choice.........KYB's setting 4 is stiffer than Tokico llumina's @ setting 5. I know I have both(Tok's - SC'd EX/ KYB's - hybrid).

    I, too am having the uneveness problem in driver side rear. On 17's I can't get my finger between tire and fender(rear driver side only). I was chalking it up to the shocks being old(42 months). Let me know how it turns out.

    Yea, I measured the car on level ground and I cant figure it out, Im waiting for a call from Eibach. Why are we all haveing the same problem on the drivers side? Do you think I should sell the tokico's and get the kyb's? If so does anyone want them at a good price of course??
    thanks again

    Well I talked to eibach. They said it might be a bad spring, but they have to test it or something. Im going to try to replace/exchange them witht the companys I bought through. Im going to try to do both springs and shocks. This way I can get the Kybs instead, dont get me wrong I love the tokicos but I think the Kybs are more what Im looking for (more adjustablity). Hopefully I will be able to with out much of a pain in my a$$. But you never know? Keep me posted on any more problems you may still be having!
    thanks
