Default WTF??? WHY IS ONE SIDE OF MY CAR LOWER???

I have no pics, sorry! But the right side of my car (passenger side) is seriously an inch lower than my drivers side. Its the whole side too, not just the front or the back but the passenger side is an inch lower than my drivers side...

I cant even stick a finger through my passengers side wheel well, and on my drivers side i can get 1.5 fingers...

Did my right side suspension settle lower than my left, cuz most of the time I have 70% more weight on the right side of the car than on my drivers side. Could a spring have cracked?

The car handles fine and there is no problem other than my right side tire hits the inside of my fender if I dont go over every single bump at .0000000000000000000000001 miles per hour... lol

how would i fix this, is it worth getting fixed? I kinda like the way its rediculously slammed on that side lol

did you just lower your ride, i have seen your sig for awhile now, did you put the rear springs on the side that is lower and is there a size diffeerence from front to rear springs, it doesn't make sense that one side of the car would be lower than the other unless you are allways riding with a fatass in your car.

why do you have 70% more weight on the passenger side?

that should be more weight on the driver side

i know suspension tends to settle lower on the side there is more weight but not normally an 1 -1 1/2 lower

what brand of springs did you use to lower it?

did you change shocks ?

who lowered it? you or shop?

doesn't sound right to me and i come from the "lowrider" crowd with my old truck

Get a fat girl to sit on the other side, that'll even things out nicely.

Stop dating fat chicks. Theyre bad for your car. Check for missing spring rubbers or broken springs.

my sig is my old car... but ilowered my new one with the same setupp...

neuspeed race springs with bilstein sport shocks. I weigh 155 lbs....I always have someone in my passenger seat (at least 180lbs) and someone right behind him in the back seat on the passengers side (at least another 175lbs) so there is a significant amount of weight difference usually.

I had a shop install the springs/shocks but I didnt get the parts from them so I know they will say they cant do anything. Should I just set like 500lbs on my drivers side over night or something???

how long has it been since you got them done and you noticing they were off...i doubt 500 lbs on the drivers side would do anything...plus isnt your goal to bring it back up on the passenger side since you keep hitting your fender?

i'm thinking they didn't install something right, and who cares where you got the parts they installed it so they are liable for work done, not to replace parts

if it is a sagging spring and you just got it done or broke whomever you bought it from should be liable for the spring

take pix of car and springs

its lower in the front and the back on my passenger side, so both springs would have to be damaged?? ugh its not really a huge deal its just one of my OCD things that gets on my nerves....

but actually, when i sit in my car alone, it evens it out pretty good lol.

Do you have grooved shocks? if you do maybe they did not set them right....
