[sm=wtf.gif]So I had Steeda springs installed yesterday. The passenger side rear looked a little lower than the drivers rear. So, I grab a tape measure and check the distance from the top center of the wheel well to the floor. Sure enough, the passenger rear is 3/4 inch lower than the drivers side. So I head off to the dealer and we measure it there and they are dead even!! I drive home, measure again, and get the same 3/4 inch difference. What the hell?? My garage floor is dead even, plus I measured it pulled in straight as well as backed in.

I guess tomorrow I'll measure it somewhere else, then again at the dealer. I really want to figure it out because on the passenger side the rear is actually a touch shorter than the front. Weird. Any ideas?

i'd give it a few days and see
if things settle down

Caution

put a level on your garage floor to make sure... maybe it appears to be but really isn't... or you can measure it somewhere else too[8D]

I agree, give it a couple of days and see if it settles down.

The same thing happened to me, parked a spot in the driveway and it looked almost an inch lower, but anywhere else I park it looks dead even. Strange

I just backed the car into the garage and measured. Then I pulled in head first and measured. Then moved it on to the other side where wifey parks and measured. All the same. The passenger side is lower, not doubt about it. Stinks too because the drop on the drivers side is EXACTLY what I wanted, perfect. I'll haul it out in the am, measure it at a few other spots and see what's what.

Has anyone ever actually had this issue that you VERIFIED with a tape measure? How did it work out?

I'm willing to bet your garage floor is not as level as you think.

Yeah, but it's an extra wide 2 car garage, and I measured it pulled in forward and backed in....in both stalls. I get the same measurement everywhere. I can't imagine the garage floor imperfections are exactly the same in each spot. Heck, I hope you are right. Kinda makes me want to go for a drive now to measure elsewhere.

Not a bad idea, I think I will!
