Depending on how the suspension was installed and what parts were loosened, you may need to preload your suspension and retorque your control arm bolts. Some shops will remove or loosen upper and/or lower control arms during suspension install then torque down the arms while they are at full droop. This puts pressure on the bushings and does not allow the suspension to fully settle. The proper way to tighten these bolts is to have the control arms pushed up to static ride height and torqued.

The other option would be to switch the springs from left to right. This would require completely disassembling the springs from the shocks and switching the springs around. If your ride height issue stays on the same side then you know it's not a spring issue. If your front right raises 10mm then you know you have an issue with the spring.

Good luck!
Thanks for your answers and help.

Received answer yesterday from Eibach and they think that springs are in tolerances?! In my opinion they can shove these springs in their...

Hello,

Our technical department checked your complaint.

The lowering is ok, compared to our technical data (lowering tolerances have always to be considered).

Please find below the data before fitting / after fitting:

front right: 374 / 348 mm rear right: 378 / 364 mm
front left: 378 / 348 mm rear left: 386 / 360 mm

"

Measurements they sent are from their "demo" car and i would accept few millimeters difference but not 10mm. Actually my car does look very bad because rear is higher than front.

Well - i am trying to get a full refund from these and looking forward for coilover setup. Too bad there are few coilovers in market which have TUV certificate..

Thumb up for reseller in Finland. They agree on me about this issue..

Regards,

Maxi
