need someones help something looks wrong to me
i'm running h&r coilovers on my 07 tls but my rear wheels look off centered to me. thought my rear springs were on wrong so i flipped them around so the coil end is exposed if that makes sense to anyone? also i'm a 1.25 in the front and a 1.50 in the rear. but that is measuring from the bottom thread to the lock nuts so i'm not technically sure how low i am. n i guess i'm being blocked from posting pics cuz it's not working so this is really hard to explain. sorry

Off Center?
You mean like this (standing behind the car):
/..........\
It's normal. You lower the car, you add negative camber. I've got about 1.5 degrees negative with H&R Sports dropped about 1.3 inches on on '07 TL-S.

Your Toe settings are probably way out of range after lowering. I bet when your standing on the side of the car facing it, the gap between the left and right sides of your tire to wheel well look different on each side.

2 of these are required.

Good point.
OP, be sure to get an alignment within a few days of your install. There is no camber adjustment when stock. Make sure the Toe alignment is dialed in close and keep it that way by having it checked/adjusted regularly.

TrevorT hit it right on the head but i've had my car aligned 3 times since putting the coilovers on and i've seen the printout. like he said looking at it from the side there is more gap on the left then on the right in the fender well. and my springs aren't on upside down but the letters on the springs are facing me when looking at it so the end of the last coil on the bottom of the spring is in plain view i wish i could post some pics it would make it alot easier.
