Uneven Aspec drop
I've had the aspec suspension on for maybe 4 months now and recently I've been noticing that the left side of the car is sitting lower than the right. So last friday I take the car to a mechanic my friend recommended. They measure the riding height of all for corners and it turns out the right side of the car is roughly 1/4" higher than the left. Has anyone seen or experienced this before? Is this an acceptable range? Not sure what could be causing this problem but it feels like the handling of the car is completely off now. I'm supposed to bring the car in this friday so that they could examine the problem more closely but I just wanted to get some ideas and opinions from members on this forum.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem......my front passenger side was higher than than the driver side. My alignment guy give me a copy of his printout. I brought it to the service dept, they in turn checked the car out and came up with the same conclusion. They replace both front springs in my TL under warranty. They said it was due to the way the spring was installed.

I just looked at the ASPEC suspension install instructions,
It says that "the dampers for the left and right are different. Be sure to note the "L" and "R" markings on the dampers".
