I was expecting more of the lowered stance in your picture, to be honest. The rear isn't very low though. Very strange. It bothers me some.
Your stance in those pics is perfect. Thanks for the advice btw.
Here is my stance right now, probably good to update this thread anyways! (For the record, I am now on H&R 50464 springs)

Hey Jason!
Yeah, she's gone. She went to a good home (a local police officer).
Hmm.... curious. That is definitely higher than mine was (on the same springs/struts). How long have you had that setup? Mine did settle some but it didn't take long.I was expecting more of the lowered stance in your picture, to be honest. The rear isn't very low though. Very strange. It bothers me some.

working with steel
Its been sitting that way for 3-4 weeks. Remember I am on 17's. I don't think it should affect tire tuck though. My upper mounts are KYB btw.

Maybe your bushings were worn?

What bushings are you referring to that would affect ride height so drastically? Also, my car only had 40k miles on it when I lowered it. I highly doubt it. Everything was in spec, equal left to right, alignment was easy, tire wear was stellar, etc. Besides, it seems to me that ride height is a function of the strut assembly.

True. I am unsure of why the large difference though! Weird..

yes He did BUT just to remove them ! but he didn`t used it for INSTALLATIOIN ! My question is WHY He didn`t used it for INSTALLATION ? not sure If this normal to NOT to use compressor for INSTALLATION!
Member
Are you sure he didn't or it isn't shown? I used them on mine, it's impossible not to
Member
yes I`m SURE ! on This video you CAN SEE IT REALLY WELL ! He used compressor to remove them from OEM strut BUT He didn`t used it for INSTALLATION ! watch a video after @ 5.38

They are different springs....must be lowering springs, they are blue in color not black like stock.
Mystery solved!

But it`s dosn`t make any sense ! Why someone will put so lowering springs ? If he can put all assembly together without spring compressor! they will not hold a weight of the car!???

If its a stiffer spring it can fit in the OEM strut assembly while being a smaller size, thus not requiring a compressor.
