Does my ride height look right?

[KevinB]

Well my drivers side spring went on me last month and I had my mechanic put a new one in, but every since that it just look likes an offroader to me in the front. Does this look too high or is it just me? Here is a picture...

I don't really have a comparison picture from before, but it just seems a lot higher too me. (Stock by the way.) Could it just have been that the spring from before was worn out making it look lower?

no thats right---stock ride height - the sag you had

Ok, thanks. It just looks so wierd to me, because it was lower from the worn out spring.

Your ride height is jacked up, but that is a combination of several things. The springs he took out where sagging - so these new ones raised the front to it's stock height. Your rear springs are still sagging, as a result your rear is lower than your front. Making your ride height look like crap. Replace your rear springs and struts and you will be fine. Untill then, well you will be pointed skyward.

Also, those front springs will settle into place in the next few months and the front will drop a bit.

Ok Thanks. The rear struts have actually already been replaced. For springs the only new one is the drivers side front spring. So sometime when I look at the car it looks a little lopsided, so I was planning on replacing the right side. My mechanic was going to do it, but he didn't because he was trying to save me money since it doesn't need immediate replacing. I will probably do the rears as well.

I knew it wasn't just me, because before the car had much more agressive stance where the back was slighty higher than the front. I like that look a lot.

Get some Koni and Eibachs/Intrax . Then your ride height will be perfect

Just FYI - springs and suspension parts as such should always be replaced as pairs. You will really enjoy the car much more with 4 new springs.
