Default Suspension Question

I have the Tein SS on my SC and i made sure that i set them up in the front at the same thread count( about 5 ), but it seems to sit lower on the drivers side then the passenger side in the front !! Any ideas as to why this might be happening??

Thanks

Is it noticeable lower or just a little? Some say that Lexus has the driver's side set a little lower from the factory.
You can also check to see if you put the endlinks back the same way when you installed the coilovers.
Did you get an alignment after you switched out your arms?

Ya i got the alighnment, i noticed this before the arms just fig id recheck during the arm swap!

Its maybe 3mm higher on the passenger side, and i have not put the end links on cuz im waiting on the TT front sways!

You really think the sway bar not active will cause this???


Thanks again sc300max for takin the time to provide input again!!!

No problem.

3mm is about 1/10 of an inch so you have a pretty good eye. I don't think I would be able to notice.

See what happens after you install the sways/endlinks. It may be set like that from the factory. If not you can always adjust the coilovers if it bothers you that much.
