Uneven wheel gap question

[AnthonyNoz]

My passenger side front wheel gap is 1/4"larger then the driver side...I've tried swapping springs...then springs and struts...lower control arms are brand new....tire pressure identical...i have k springs and was thinking of cutting a little off the passenger side spring to even it out....would love coil overs but NYC street would have those leaking in a week.....would cutting a little bit of the spring be stupid? Thanks

Do you keep checking the wheel gap in the same location?
Might be uneven surface that you park the car on.
Could also be that the suspension is getting more of a workout on the driver side if you're a heavy set fella haha j/k

I would NOT cut the coils if that was my car

dont cut the spring. maybe a diet though? lol depending how much you weigh the drivers side could sag more over time.... just saying.

Mine did this after my spring swap but settled even after about 2weeks... cars not a dd only a weekend cruiser but if ur cars a dd im sure it will settle faster

Maybe a bad strut?

 

[AnthonyNoz]

Lol well I swap the struts from side to side and I measured on a few different surfaces...the springs were installed in December and I don't daily drive it but I have been out of state a few times since install...I weigh 170lbs lol

I won't cut springs thanks guys

Every S197 car I have installed suspension parts on never sat even on all sides. A 1/4" difference is common. Forget about it and worry about other things. You will never correct for this.

Mine is a little less than 1/4'' off w/ both Eibach Pro Springs and BMR. FYI

Eibach pro springs here, I'm not 100% even either.

my h&r super sports are pretty close to even.
maybe it's because your car is so short.....(LOL sig)
