Left / right height different

[sfp power]

After i let my dealer lower my car on RDSport springs, there is a difference in frontheight. from highest point on rim straight up to the car, there is a difference of 0.7mm left/right. They did realigned it, but i noticed that my steering wheel is little bit to the left when going straight ahaid .

Is the difference in heigt due to the inpropper alignment ? Or is there someting wrong with the springs ?

Many thx

I installed Eibachs on my car last week and immediately noticed that the left (driver) side sits just a tad higher than the right. I know I installed everything correctly so I'm thinking that it is just the way it sits. Maybe someone with stock springs can confirm? I know the left side of the car is lighter than the right without the driver.

do you really mean 0.7mm? That's the thickness of your finger nail.

Actually thinner than that .

I could bet my house no car is going to have less tolerance than that. If you meant 7mm (roughly 1/4"), it'd still not be bad at all IMO, especially on the driver's side. A normal driver would collapse the suspension that much, balancing the car out. Furthermore, depending where the dimensions were measured from, it could be bodywork differences in there too. A heavy driver can lower the car 1/4" easily, and shouldn't affect your steering. I'd get the car aligned before doing anything else. Good luck.

I had my dealer do an alignment and give me the ride heights on my car a couple of weeks ago. In my garage, there was a 6mm difference from side-to-side at the rear and at the front. On the alignment rack, it was within 1 mm - essentially zero. If the car isn't sitting on something perfectly flat, the measurements are meaningless.
