Rear coilover height confusion

[Connor H]

Swap em round and see.
I reckon springs, cant think itd be anything else ( unless a shock absorber is bottoming out but cant see it somehow).

Doing this now, all rubbers and mounts were good, mega confusing. I’m considering reseating the bolts that hold the threaded collars in place.

Update:

Switched the rear shocks and springs around

Would you believe the same side is still sagging. It doesn’t make any sense! At least the shocks are good though.

Aside from reseating the adjuster cup bolt from underneath there’s no other variable I can think of that would make one side sag.

Any ideas?

Fuel tank / the front needing adjusted. Front maybe throwing off the rear

I believe the fuel tank sits central doesn’t it? The fronts are currently level.

Only 1 thing for it. Junk yard time

Hi there. Have you consider the wheel arms could be deformed? Try to mount only one shock + spring, raise it on the ground (careful to keep a stand on a close distance bur not touching on the off wheel side) and check measurements on both sides. Then do it on the opposite side.

This is pretty much the only drawn conclusion from a few of us. Will give this a go when it’s next apart

Has the car been like this since youve owned it or just since fitting the suspension kit?

Literally since fitting the coilies, I still haven’t tried adjusted the collar/bolt on that side to see if it needs better alignment to the spring but I’m not holding my breath lol

*UPDATE*

I wound it to the very top of the collar and its raised, still 4mm lower than otherside but i think im going to leave it there and be done with it.
