passenger side front wheel hangs about 5 inches lower than drivers side front when lifted up by the xmember. last year at this time it was about a 2 inch difference.
WHAT THE ****.
anyone else have uneven spring sag??? i knew sportlines would sag, but good god i didnt expect them to sag unevenly, it doesnt make any sense to me. the koni yellows are fine still.
i have been having alignment problems-theyll align my car to perfect spec, and it will still pull like a mother to the right. so i had to have the alignment guy set the caster on the drivers side to almost out of spec and do some other crap to keep it from immediately switching lanes on me.
i will be getting new springs soon, but now im weary as hell about what to get.
cliffs notes- anyone experienced uneven spring sag? if so, did you figure out the reason for it, other than the spring itself being a piece of ****?

Wait...what do you mean when lifted up by the xmember? That doesnt make sense. The only thing you could tell by having the front of the car up in the air is the max travel distance of the shock itself. The spring has no pressure on it at all in the air which is what I am guessing you mean by "when lifted up by the xmember".
well i figured it was the shock but the alignment guy kept saying it was the spring..
how does that not make any sense being lifted by the xmember? they put my car on a hydrolic lift, then lifted it further with another machine via the crossmember.

If the car was in the air and one hung lower than the other you most likely have a problem with the shock itself. At full raise the spring doesnt even have any pressure to be able to sag!

The spring IS NOT the problem.

that was my whole beef with the alignment guy. he seemed pretty knowlegable about everything else, so i was asking him why in the world the spring would have anythign to do with it, if its not even compressed.
it doesnt physically sit any lower on one side when its just riding around on the roads, otherwise i would have realized what was going on a long time ago. its just weired. pissing me off.
