Just put on h and r springs

triadz · 06-30-2011, 10:30 AM

Hey guys I jus put on my rear springs by h and r I'm doin the job myself the rears are on but fronts goin on 2day. The question I have is tht my left back side is more cambered and sits a tad lower than the right is this normal because of settling. I'm about 225 lbs so will the extra weight on the left make it settle quicker.

Thanks

Yes, it's normal. The driver side will settle will always settle first, nothing to panic over. If you want the passenger side to settle evenly, drive that side over some speed bumps a few times if you can, it'll help.

You should give it a week or two for it to settle. If it still looks uneven, you might have a problem.

You could always get a fat girlfriend to help even things out!

The drivers side will sit higher than the passenger side. It takes a few days to settle but you may notice it may settle for a couple weeks.

Usually the drivers side will be higher because Nissan knows that once a driver gets into the car the drivers side drops down to match the height of the passenger side. That's just my guess.

Pretty sure that's completely wrong. The spring rates are the same per pair, front and back. As is the design of the coil on both sides.

nnnnn...not really. ET38-ET20 = 18mm + another 4-5mm for the tires pulled out from the 0.5" wider wheels. 22-23mm difference is HUGE.

the rear is closer to mine.

i dont mind the rear poke but the front needs to be inside the verticle fender lip line when looked at from the front for me.

with the z having a pointed nose the car looks even worse when looked at from the angle taken in my pic when you got a wide stance.

once you lower your ride the added neg camber and smaller wheel gap will make it look nice and smooth on yours.
