Car is crooked after lowering...

I just Got done installing Jamex springs, and the Car is crooked. The front driver is to High, and is making the Rear passenger way to low. Now I assume that this is because I have the front driver spring turned wrong, but I have to take a break here and do some homework. Could someone verify my suspicion ?

thanks )

you probably clocked the spring wrong like you thought. That happened to my car one time. I noticed it right away because the the fender gap increased alot. When I drove the car the dash seemed a lot higher as well.

Very clean!! $99 for all four? How much do they lower it, and how stiff are they? And where did you buy them?

Stinger, yes 99 for all four. 135 or something shipped.


I got them from Brett at BMR, www.bmrfabrication.com

I dont know if he has any left at this price however, He cut this deal because He was discontinuing The Line for 3rd gens.


They lowerd it 2" +, from this picture below, to the one you see up top.


Oh yeah, and they are Stiff enough that when I get in and out of the car, it dosent move at all. Very stiff.
Brett Said that they were based off the 1LE springs, but modified on the stiffer side for autocross racing from some dudes specs... I dont remember )
