Car finally sits level
Since I bought this car two years ago, I slowly developed a tick in my eye caused by the r/f sitting noticeably higher. I bought the Mid-America lowering kit about a year ago and never used the front, left side was low enough for me. So with all the recent discussion and info here about lowering the front, I decided to use half the kit and just do the right side.
There was a 3/4in difference and I got lucky, right side came down about 5/8" and left went up a tad. Car is level and obviously lower.
So if you're one the people who has a lopsided car, I remember a thread about this a while ago, this is at least one option. A very cost effective attempt at a fix, check out new spring prices. And if you find a used one, it will probably be from a car in an accident or, well, a lopsided car that got a new spring.
Now that I think about it, I should have rotated the spring, left side to right side, and reinstalled to see if the other side then went higher.
