hey f355bird, you're in the same boat as me! do you have that annoying creaking sound from the hatch when you jack up half the car, or drive on a curb or something like that? I bet my frame bends like a whole inch sometimes!

I wonder if having a bendable frame can help... ever? like keeping all wheels planted on the ground or something like that? maybe just a softer ride?

 

So the height problem isnt due to the spring not seating properly? Were all 4 springs the same size?

 

Avenger, The tires are 245/50-16's on all 4 corners. Goodyear F1 GS-D3's. 25.7" dia, 10.1" section width on an 8" rim.

f355, the difference in height left to right is a good ol unibody car for you and chassis fatigue over the years. most passenger sides will sit about 1/4"-3/4" higher than the drivers front from age and torque twist. Mine is minimal due to lack of power over the years from a V6 until I braced the frame- I am a fortunate one because of the mild V6 power and a hardtop.

I got to thinking further on you wheel rub. It is quite possible that your caster is low (+3* range) and your camber is high -1*to1 1/2* or even more from when you lowered it and when that driverside tire is turned to the left it is not droping out as much due to small caster and is pitching right into the fender well rear due to massive camber (tire stricking out at the bottom) Has it be realigned since you lowered it?

nope no alingment yet plus before i lowered it there was something weird with the springs that were in their they sit about an inch higher than any other 3rd gen so it diffenetly change a lot when i dropped it.
