Car is sitting un-level
I lowered my vette today and am noticed the pass. side is higher then then driver, any ideas? To get it close I have the rear driver side nut run up 1 in higher. I also don't know if its low enough so I may go ack in and pull out the Mid America shims.
Thanks
Thanks

thats bout par for the course, you can get them level and the bolts equal on both sides, but it usually takes taking things apart a few times for the minumum, and installing coilovers for the maximum...cost wise .

Sounds about right. That is, the adjustments are not equal.
Need to drive it and give the suspension time to "settle".
It may require a few more adjustments until its right.

Well that is what I am going to try today, more driving. I have had the front apart twice now, tried different torquing sequences on the front spring and just can't get it down. I do believe it is the front messing me up, I am going to try losing the front spring clamps driving around for a min. then pull it up on some ramps and re-tork them and see what happens.

The rear was a breeze it prob took 30 min.
The front took about 4.5 to 5 hours that included cleaning up some of the parts like the lower a-arms. The worse part is cutting, sanding or grinding the rubber down.
The second time into the front I was in and out in about 2.5 hours.
It was all worth it!
