q45 lowering issue?
So I've recently lowered my car with the s13/14 front conversion, for the rear coils i have s13 megan tracks. I have come to a problem where with both of the shocks turned all the way down with zero preload the passenger side rear wont go any lower. The driver side rear is almost at the rim, but the pass side rear is like sitting right above the tire.
anybody run into this issue? could my aliment be an issue?
TIA

collapsed? like you got the dent in the quarter panel?
and both coils should be able to go to the same drop level.

yeah dented both quarter panels and i took my sweet time on it i guess you really cant pull too much on these quarters, im not sure whats wrong with the coils or my car but i lowered them both maxed out already. and the pass side is like an inch higher

it's possibly because of a weight difference. it's not uncommon to see a .25-.5" difference from side to side, an inch seems excessive though.

so i guess worst case scenario i gotta lower it from the spring and mess up the rebound on the shock?

have you checked to see if the car has been hit or take off the rear suspension and set them side by side and see if they are the same could be a simple mix up on the shocks :shrug:

I would suspect a frame shift as stated above, does it have a clean past?

when i bought them new i lowered both the shocks and they were the same length. so i dont think thats causing it, the car is clean title never been in an accident that i know of or from carfax report. Somebody was telling me it might be because my camber is off on one side? but i still think the car would go lower reguardless any inputs?
