Car sitting lower on drivers side
« on: 31 May 2015, 09:48 »
I was out cruising about Dundee last night, parked up, jumped out the car and was just just chatting away when I seemed to notice my drivers side of the car is sitting a wee bit lower than the passengers when on the E-brake. I can fit two fingers in the rear arch of the passengers side and on the drivers side I Struggle to fit two fingers! It might of just been the ground I was parked on but just testing on here.

The car is lowered on the VWR lowering springs and is using a ECS flush kit!

Has anyone else had this or can anyone explain to me?

Try out a few more places and see if the car is still like it Dan.
As it's had replacement springs we can rule out transport blocks and it's more likely to just be the springs settling (which will happen first on the side where the weight is if you run with only yourself in the car a lot), but I'd check the strut top mounts are done up tightly as it's not unknown for them to loosen a bit after a suspension swap. Lowering springs can take a while to settle.

On another note - as I'm back on standard wheels now - how much was the ECS flush kit and where from? Do you rate it?
