    One Side Slightly Lower After Lowering Springs Installed

    My driver side sits just a bit lower than my passenger side after I installed my Hotchkis spings with Koni struts. I haven't taken an exact measurement, but it's probably about .5" difference at most.

    I was sure to install the springs correctly, and align the tabs. I gave both the Koni's a half turn firmness and the car's alignment does not appear off, though I will get an alignment soon.

    I just put my snow tires on and they're relatively new with even tread wear.

    I've only lowered the front so far, but the back shocks appear to be firm so I don't think the difference is because of sag in the rear. Other than what I've mentioned, I don't really know how to troubleshoot this.

    Has anyone experienced similar results after lowering?
    Any help would be of great assistance.

    Is the car sitting on a perfectly flat and even floor? What if you check with car turned around? Make sure your tire presures are equal...

    thanks for the suggestions.

    I tried all that. I think what I'm going to do is put the rear on jack stands and see if there is, in fact, some sag in the rear shocks.
