hi all. I currently have koni/eibach and noticed the driver side was sagging by 1cm front and back so i decided to swap from left to right and vice versa. i drove it down the coast yesterday and let it settle and this morning it was the same ie sagging on the right side. Is there something else i need to be looking at? btw the heights of the clips on the struts are the same so its not the height adjustment if you were wondering.

thanks

Are you sure the surface it's sitting on is level?

thanks drifter and mr q. yeah the surface is pretty level. reversed car and measured still the same.

as for bumpstops, bushes etc they are same both sides.

I cant understand why its doing this as it was a complete swap so i didnt disassemble the strut from the springs.

anyone enlighten me on what else determines right height besides the shocks+springs or is that it?

thanks

Try finding yourself a passenger and go for a drive then come back and remeasure. You might find things are a bit more level.

thanks Garry but already did that with the coast run.

I am completely stumped

How many pies did you eat on the run up and down the coast?
