Title: mk4 susspension HELP!
Post by: azzsmith on 07 July 2012, 21:21

Hi all, not sure if i'v posted this in the right place...

Recently purchased a 1999 agu 1.8t,
It has uprated shocks and springs on it (yellow shocks and red springs) and I keep noticing that one side is about 1" lower than the other side, just wondered if anyone could give any help/info. I'v checked it when it's been on flat concrete as well and it's still lopsided!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

havn't had chance to get the wheels of and have a proper look yet but will try tomorrow (whether permitting of course lol).
I take it the susspension wouldn't be adjustable considering they not coilies?
