Hey guys;

Going nuts trying to install the GR+ C/O from stance on my S2. I spent ALL day installing only the rear . First timer so dont hate.

Anyway, I swear I tried my best to measure and whatnot, but in the end, and after re-adjusting over and over again, im left with measuring 14.5 on the driver side (center of wheel, to fender lip) and 14.25 on the passenger side.

As you may have guessed, this has caused a slight angle in my passenger side. My question is, is this something i should really be worried about? Is it as easy as just taking off the wheel and adjusting the spring perch (thats what I have been doing).

Thanks, I will be attacking the fronts tomorrow but I'm getting really discouraged

Edit: I just double checked, The distance between the bottom of the rear shock to the height adjustment perch is equal on both sides, so I am pretty sure I just have uneven preload, but does 0.25 inches sound right??

 

your measuring it wrong.

It need to be done on a lift from the frame to the rack.

Yout drieway could be at an angle.

since you don't have a lift measure fron the ground to the fram and from the ground to the center of the rear axle.

 

I apologize for my ignorance, but exactly what "frame" are we talking about when you say to measure from the ground to the frame?

 

measure from the upper spring seat to the bottom of the shock first to get the height then measure from the upper spring seat to the spring perch to set the pre load. only adjust one at a time. concrete floor is not level so you can't measure ride height in the drive way or garage. the right way to measure is from your jack point on your car to an alignment rack, so when you bring your car to do an alignment, just tell them to check your ride height.

 

FYI for anyone else that runs into this problem. My height measurements were all correct which was great, and to fix the camber until you get an alignment, all you need to do is untighten the alignment cam nut that is facing the rear of the vehicle, and then use a 17mm socket to turn the alignment bolt from the other side to adjust the camber. Again this is only temporary until you can get to a shop to align the camber more precisely
