Ten Street Advance uneven height
Hi! New to the forums..but just started doing work to my TL so i will be posting here much more..however i do have a question.
I just installed Tein Street Advance coilovers. All were put together correctly and everything was seated as it should be, suspension was pre-loaded before tightening, etc.. and i adjusted them to 1" from the bottom all round per the instructions. However when i measure all 4 corners, the front left/drivers side sits a little lower than the others. Is this normal? Should i leave it or can i adjust that corner to be a little more even.
I measured on a flat/level garage floor to make sure it wasn't the surface.
Thanks!

ill also add that i noticed the lower control arm bushing on the drivers side is completely torn and needs replacing...could this contribute to it? the passenger side one is fine.

How do you like the firmness ?
I have installed TEIN SS & SA on 3rd gen TL'S .
I like a FIRM ride with no bouncing.
When I had the TEIN SS or SA. I set the
Front coilovers to FULL firmness.
I am considering these Basics .

once you get it set up, its good. im at 8 in the front and 9 in the back and its firm enough. it's my daily driver with a 1yr old and a 4 yr old in the back, so i cant have it too firm in the back. it rides a little firmer than stock.
i'd like to be able to crank the firmness up slightly just to stop the car compressing so much over dips in the freeway at 60+mph speeds, however it rides smooth and doesnt rub, so its really not an issue. i wouldnt want to go with anything that didnt have the damper adjustment, i adjusted it quite a few times to get it set up.

Glad to see you corrected the height issue by fixing the bushing. I often recommend damping adjustable coilover to people who have a very specific stiffness they want their suspension to be. The Street Advance are great for this.
