Default Car is higher on passenger side...

Hey guys.

I have an 03 gs3 lowered on DF Springs. I was looking at my car (of course on flat ground), and the passenger side seems to be about an 1" to 1 1/2" higher than the driver. Any reason for this? Could something in my suspension have gone bad? would I have to replace anything to fix this?


Thanks,
Mitchell

Drivers side is always going to be lower, due to the driver is always on that side.you don't have passengers with you at all times you are the in the car

Maybe spring sag? I have tein spring and my left rear is lower then all the other corners. My fix! BC Coilovers
I guess to double check you could measure floor to fender lip/body line and see if it's one corner causing the side to be lower.

Yeah my car did the same thing, my rear passenger side is slightly higher than all the others. The only fix would be coilovers... Good luck!

Same thing here. It annoyed me so much that I ended up getting coilovers.

You guys are doing a good job talking me into coils.

I've been deciding on going to coils lately. I just needed a reason, which I may have...
