Rear Suspension Question??

[silverbeem]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's the situation:

I installed Koni SA's last week along with eibach pro kit springs. Now my problem is that the driver's side sits about 1/4"-1/2" lower than the passenger side.

Now I know that, if anything, the passenger side is supposed to sit lower to compensate for the driver's weight. But that's not the case here. And now the driver's side rear tire rubs when I go over certain bumps, when turning hard to the right, and when under hard acceleration. I tried swapping the old worn out spring pads with some new 10mm pads from the stealer. This helped with the rubbing a little, but it's still there, and so is the uneven drop.

BTW, I am running a stock staggered setup w/ contours.

Any suggestions? :confused

i actually have the same problem as you. I just put a thread up today and got a couple suggestions. it is very easy to misallign rear struts at the mounts...........i put rear mounts in a 300zx and had to redo it a couple times to get it right, as i noticed the ride hieght kept changing. on a car as new as yours i would suspect improper rear strut mounting. mine on the other hand has other issues. Mine too could be inproper strut installation, mine were installed 10k miles ago.

Maybe the shocks are adjusted differently. Did you set them to the same stiffness?

This sounds weird... I've swapped out many springs on diffrent BMW's and never had this happen. Like someone said maybe something is not sitting right or alighned right. You could could try taking the spring pad off the side thats rides high and leave the other sides spring pad on.
