Hey all, have installed SL Kings on the rear of my IRS AU XR6 and now my RHR sits higher then the left?
Measurements are LHR - 620mm from ground to wheel arch RHR - 650mm from ground to wheel arch This has me completely buggered as why would NEW springs have a difference of 30mm seating? Anyone have any ideas? I know for a fact the shocks are'nt in terrific condition but this shouldnt effect it should it? also I know the RHR control arms are probably [B]slightly[B] bent but again this shouldnt effect it? Any help is greatly appreciated before I pull it all apart again to try and spot anything. - Also like an idiot I didnt measure the ride height before installing the springs so I am unsure if there was a difference or not beforehand, fromt memory it was equal to the eye Last edited by zakjames; 29-06-2011 at 12:35 PM. |

Is there a left and right spring? It's quite common for the right hand side to sit slightly higher to compensate for the driver.
Also, don't measure from the ground, measure guard lip to centre of the hub.
