Uneven Coilovers

seej333 · 10-22-2009, 04:14 PM

I have the KW Variant 2 coilovers on my E92. Over time they have begun to sit uneven in the rear. The passenger side is considerably raised more on the spring in order to get the vehicle to sit level. Does anyone know what is causing this, bad spring? Or is this normal?

my rears are set to the lowest setting and it looks like my passenger side is lower then the driver side. i always though that its because of the battery in the passenger side, but for you its the other way around ?!?!
i got e92 with v2

I have noticed that my rear seems to have less overall suspension now and the ride seems harder than before?

Any other owners with issues? How did you get over it?

Adjust the springs back up?

yeah it was originally corner balanced, but over time I've had to raise the passenger side up to keep the rear level.

Have it re-balanced to see what is causing the problem

I seem to experience this on my V3s, especially in the rear. I have an xi so I guess I need to do another corner balance to see what's going on
