    quick question?!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    hey guys I just finished installing my front springs. Started at 11pm and finished at 2.

    the front looks really nice... but I'm wondering why the driver side sits a tad lower about 1/8th of an inch.. is there a reason for that? or did I do something wrong...?

    Also does it matter how the front shocks are placed? meaning.. is there a front side and back side to the front shocks. it was late last night, but I noticed that the stock sport shocks have a slight curve down the lower shock bolt?

    Just a thought--------i wonder if you put them on the wrong side. maybe driver side should be a little higher to compensate for the weight of the driver.

    Used or not, they will still settle after an install.
