Car Leaaaaans.

Anyone elses car, with aftermarket springs, lean to one side? I had installed Maxspeeds and I noticed a slight lean towards the drivers side of the car. Last weekend I switched to Sprints and the lean is more noticable now. So I measured from the ground to the fenders and it's about a half inch higher on the passenger side of the car than it is on the drivers side of the car.

Anyone have any ideas?

let it settle in. I remember when my car was tilted to the side.. but that was after a spirited drive up a mountain... so lots of twisties. It settled back to normal the next day. Just drive a bunch and see how it looks.

Maybe your 600 pounds is too much for it. Or the dead chick in the trunk rolled to the left. Gotta strap those down.

Did you measure on a flat concrete surface? Asphalt often is far from level.

Im on a diet..down to 580..

Well the springs I bought were used for almost a year so I doubt they're gonna settle anymore. It's not even a matter of measuring..you can feel that it leans and measuring (on a flat surface (garage floor)) prooved it's half inch higher on the drivers side. Plus when i turn right, it rooooollls heavy on my side.

Not gonna go crazy over it but it's annoying.
