i noticed something.......who has the answers?

well its been about a week and a half since i got my new suspension installed and today i went out to measure the finger gap and on my driver side it was a finger and a half and on the passenger side was two fingers. so i went and i measured both sides of the car in the same spot on both sides and i came to a conclusion that the drivers side is 1/4" lower than the passenger side. will this level out when the springs settle? i just thought it was wierd that the whole left side of the car was 1/4" lower than the passenger side.

Did you check your tire pressure?

My fender was scraping the tire on one side when my tires were at low pressure.

your fat *** already ruined the front left strut chris!! haha im just kidding man. Maybe the driver's side settled quicker? My money was on the tire pressure but i guess I'm wrong.

haha, just gotta eliminate variables. do you perhaps have fat fingers on one hand, and you measured each side with a different hand?

Air pressure didnt do much for me. I went from 26 to 32 and went up less than a 1/16th of an inch.

Who makes the struts?

How is air pressure going to affect your suspension height? If your tire pressure is low then your car will sag a little bit but the spring height and fender gap will remain the same.
