Springs settling

[Michael Perez]

My H&R springs have been on a little while now an have finally settled. I have noticed that the driver side is lower than the passengers side. 2 fingers don't slide in the gap on the drivers side rear but do on the passenger rear. Is this typical?

Define a little while? I have H&R springs, uneveness is a symptom of still being in the settling phase.

2 and a half months I believe

Know of any friends that weigh as much as me.......... take them riding once in a while......... Or load the right part of the trunk, and passenger floor board for a month plus......

I didn't have a problem with mine not being level from side to side,I'll check when I get home what kind of gap I have but it looks the same on both sides.I would think they would have settled completely by now but I'm not sure.

Sorry I don't have H&R springs no more because I just installed Megan Street Coilover couples weeks ago.

On the right side it's usually just me and a backpack I almost never have passengers except for my girlfriend but nothing in excess

That's why I'm suggesting weighting the right side, to get it to settle.............

Mine settled evenly after 3 weeks. I'm usually the only person in my car and, on occasion, when my GF is in the car she sits on the passenger side. I never evenly distributed weight either.

Hmmm. That's old

Drivers side


Passengers side

I can kinda force two into the front driver's side gap, but only 1 in the passenger's side. I'm on H&R springs as well.

Sport or OE Sport?

 

[Monk]

Has anyone thought about maybe these springs are not tuned balanced......... Like putting a weight on each spring and measuring the compressed length, before installing?

 

[Michael Perez]

These are sport springs. So urs are uneven also you would say?

Yup. I'll get you some pics when I get home.

 

[KangaKyle]

Well... Here it is.

Just kidding.
Passenger side:

Driver side.

Mine ain't too bad when I think about. Just whenever I park near a curb does it emphasize the gap on the driver side. Haha.

 

[trustdestruction]

Mine are even. OE Sport though. However my drop is almost as low as yours despite the 1" difference in claimed specs
