Guest s6boy1979 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Something not right there, are the springs sat in the right place, up the right way and is the rubber ring thing up the right way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest realcolne Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 yep everything on right put new one on same as took other off always been that high just dont know why ? starting to think it might have wrong springs on, the wheels are leaning out so wears tyres on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee81 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I wouldn't even drive the car like that. The suspension angles are going to be way off normal sat that high. Get a decent set of springs from someone like Eibach. Will only set you back around £100. The front springs are longer than the rear ones. It looks like maybe they have fitted front ones on the rear.
