[QUOTE="GHS, post: 217446, member: 6956"] I might have small issue with the Eibach Pro-Kits. Had them installed for 3 days already. Now I notice that on the driver's side, the gap between the fender and tyre is exactly 2 fingers, front and rear. But on the other side, the gap is 2 fingers and slightly more, front and rear! Car was on a level surface when I measured it. I didn't do an exact measurement in mm's using a tape though. Had already done the alignment + balancing immediately after changing the Eibachs. I checked with the guy who installed the Eibachs, he says he needs to check with the supplier and some of his counterparts in KL to see if they have encountered such issues before. He did have 1 theory (actually I feel silly for even typing it out): For // M cars, the spring height on the driver's side is slightly higher to compensate for the assumption that most of the time, only the driver is in the car. Euro cars are left-hand drive, so the Eibachs might have been designed for Euro cars with that assumption in mind, therefore contributing to the difference in height (except in M'sia the driver/passenger seats are reversed)? How valid is the theory above? AFAIK, the springs are only differentiated by front and rear, but not left and right? Honestly, I think it's juz a load of bull... And do you guys have similar issues on the difference in ride height? [/QUOTE]
