Eibach pro kit uneven


I installed the Eibach pro kit and camber bolts on my 06 GT, drove it for about 10 days and got the alignment checked, it was almost perfect. But then I noticed the the passenger side was a little higher than the driver's side so I measured the highest point of the wheel wells. The rear passenger side was 28 3/16 and the rear driver's side was 27 3/4. I took them off, inspected everything and it all looked good, I even swapped them and when I lowered the car the measurements are exactly the same.
I didn't notice if it was off before I installed the springs because the gap in between the tires and wheel wells was so great. Has anyone experienced this? Any reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John

welcome to the forums.

I am sure an 05 + guy will help you out.

my only question is a stupid one...

did you measure in on a flat surface?

HMUSN pointed out the obvious, make sure you were on a surface with no lean.

Secondly, the springs will sometimes sit funny when in the upper and lower craddles. Sometimes this causes more lift on one side than the other. You obviously know you can turn them 360 degrees in a circle, try spinning the lower side 180 degrees and see if the new position it sits in raises or lower at all.

I had an 05 off by 3/4 of an inch and moving it around a little I could actually make the short side higher by 3/16's of an inch.

Lastly, how do yo drive, fairly hard? I've seen springs in the right rear compress because of torque load and not recover all the way back to full extension. Not in 10 days, more like a year or two. You could have gotten a weak one possibly.

Bottom line, you should be able to get the car to sit level. If not, contact Eibach.
