Need a little help.


Hey guys, just got a new set of wheels and H&R lowering springs as well as new rotors/brakes.

I tackled this job myself since the guide on AM was pretty specific. Anyway, For the most part everything went smoothly except for a broken bolt on the brake caliper, luckily i could take everything apart from the back, including that pain in the ass e-brake spring.

Everything in the front went perfect, new rotors/brakes/springs not any problems. Not soo much on the back, Since i broke the bolt on the caliper i just put the wheels on and set her down to see what it would look like, and I noticed the back looked like it was sitting lower then the front.

The only thing i can think is that the back springs are not set in there right. In the guide they said make sure you set the pigtail end of the spring facing the driver side of the car. Can someone explain this a little better, i figured it meant the pigtail point would be facing the driver side. But on the front springs the pigtail end was running parallel with the driver side of the car.

i've done 4 cars worth of springs now and i have yet to see a way to install them incorrectly...and i've never used a guide...the first time i did it on my first v6 i just guessed at what to unbolt lol.

did you run isolators on the front or the back? remember they'll take a few weeks to settle...also did you seat the front correctly..i mean it's hard to not do it right but we'll need to think of everything

I re-used my isolators due to AM being out of stock. On the front i set them in there exactly as they were. I could see from the lack of dust.

On the rear i had no idea, the isolators were in pretty rough shape. I drew a picture to try to help with my question, ill upload it here in a minute.
