Inconsistant drop rate with Neuspeed SS/Bilstein Shocks?
Just got them installed and noticed that the drivers side is like 1/4 inch lower than the passenger side.
I parked it on a very flat level floor and compared, on the drivers side I can barely stick my finger in the gap, on the passenger side, i can somewhat fit it in the gap.
Just to make sure it wasn't the ground, i parked my car the opposite direction and still the same.
My question is, I know that not all shocks/springs are made exactly the same. so is it common to have little uneveness when you get suspension installed?
Vegascowboy, any experience with this?

Yes, let the springs settle... but this also reiterates my reason for coilovers over springs
You simply cannot beat the ability to adjust the ride height at each corner.
All cars eventually sag. Especially when most of its life, there is only a driver in the car. I had this problem in my B5 with the Eibach/Bilsteins after some miles. I simply dialed it flat with the coilovers.

Back wheels? or Front? How much space do you have between the tire and the fender?
Do you happen to have a pic of the back wheel gap - one where I can see the tire and fender?
I wanted to get the Neu SS and Bilstein combo. How does the car look today? How is the ride? Does the car look high in the front and low in the back? Many pics look that way but it could just be the angle of the picture.
BTW - I think the factory sport isn't even either. I think the driver side is higher?

Fully-Adjustable Coilover Suspension for the street? You sure you wanna do that?
Read and decide. Do it right or don't bother doing it at all.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bira.org/coilover.html">http://www.bira.org/coilover.html</a</li></ul>
