Driver Side Lower than Passenger
I have a 06 6MT and I just lowered my car with the Eibach Pro Kit. I was doing some measuring and it seems the drivers side is about 1/4 of a inch lower than the passenger side. I have had other cars that have had Eibach's on them and I noticed they were a little off in the front as well. I was doing some reading on other forums and I found a few other people with similar problems. They stated it was because the tranny was weighted on one side more than the other. Any ideas? Thanks.

shocks and springs or just springs? i just springs, you may have installed one upside down.

I doubt its a blown strut. The car only has 10k miles. I will recheck the install this weekend to see if I find any problems. I talked to the Eibach tech and he said I need to preload the suspension before I tighten the bottom bolt, which I didn't do.

honestly. before my TL ive had alot of ford explorers, and they ALL seemed to sag on the left side.... so does my TL, my girls cars.. my mom's 3 series... ya know why?
cause we sit our fat ass's in the car all day long!!!! so the shocks/struts on the left side are always more "worn" down.
there are times when you drive alone, with nobody on the right side.
BUT, are there any times when you drive around with nobody on the left side of the car??
personally, my tein coilovers are set slightly higher on the left side to even out the cars stance. think about it....

Drivers side=26 1/16th
Passenger side=26 1/4
So its just barely under a quarter of an inch. What's yours for height? What set of springs do you have?
