    Suspension lower on one side?

    I got ironman foam suspension kit that's 6 months old roughly - noticed the other day that the rear left sits about an inch or so lower than the right.. Anything I should be concerned about?

    Suspension lower on one side?

    btw I'm getting a service in two weeks.. Is it an easy fix or something that will cost $$?

    are these adjustable etc?

    coil spacers are a cheap fix to a problem that will still be there and wouldnt fit them to any car. Has your car always been like this or is it something that has just happened?

    I don't know as I purchased the car about 3 months ago.. I have only just noticed it when up at my dads place..

    The suspension and springs were fitted before I purchased the car..

    U may have to have a look at the springs and make sure they have been fitted on the correct sides, u have L/H and R/H sides and if fitted ass about will make your car lean as one side is shorter than the other.
    Hope its just a simple fitment error or you may have to throw some new spring in it mate

    Re: Suspension lower on one side?

    Had to put a spacer in my GU with iron man springs. It does the trick but i guess they aernt the best quality out there.

    Suspension lower on one side?

    Ill point it out to the mechanics and see what they suggest..

    If I kept the iron man shocks would it be worthwhile updating the springs with a better quality brand?

    Or is this something I should be doing as a complete refit?

    How much (ball park) does it cost to replace with a new system with a decent product?

    I'm thinking the PO did the lift himself.. Hopefully it's a simple fix so I can spend my cash on more fun stuff..
