suspension delimma!
I just installed my ground control coilovers today and I noticed that even though they are set to the exact same height in the rear, the right side is higher than the left. Also, when I jack up the car in the middle on the pull hook the right side tire comes off of the ground and the left one stays on the floor. Does anyone know whats causing this, let me know! Thanks

Mine does the same exact thing also. When I was installing my springs the right side wouldn't line up right so we had to twist it like 20 degrees so that it sits higher. That's the only way we could get it in. I'd say don't sweat it.

to get them to line up you have to compress the springs and move the cap over. this sucks, since i had to find out the hard way. To make it easier just remember were the bolts were on in relation to the bottom mount.

Ok, I looked at it today and see that there are two bolts that hold on the "cap" that you were talk about, you said to compress the springs and move the cap over, over to where? there are only two holes there! If you could be a little more specific I would appreciate it, I'm trying to get this fixed so I can go to moroso this weekend, thanks!

instead of twisting the springs 20 degrees to make the two nuts fit in the hole compress the springs and twist the cap right or left to get the holes to line up with the nuts. If you compress the springs then you can twist the cap right or left until it lines up.
let me know if these helps

the cap i was talking about was for dennis since he had to twist his springs to make them fit. If you could post a pic of the top mount on your coil overs i could try and help you.
