So I just got my Tein Flex w/ the pillowball mounts. I took them outta the box and adjusted all the collars to the specs in the installation manual. Everything was exactly the same for both sides of the front and both sides of the rear. I put them on my car and the right side of my car is a little more than an inch higher than than the left. I had this same problem when I put on my Eibach/AGX setup and was told by you guys that its b/c the motor is on the left side so that's where the majority of the weight is. I lowered the right side so that both sides are even and I just wanted to make sure that there wont be any performance issues with the control arms being at different angles.

 

one question. have you taken your controll arms off at any point? like off completely durning any of this whole project?

 

no issues.. all cars will be like that.. some bushings have additional wear than others, the weight is not perfectly distributed, if you add things like a sound system, that'll throw it off too.. so there's too many variables.. best thing to do is measure from the bottom lip of your wheel to the fender on all 4 corners to match it up. if you want to get even more precise, have a friend measure it for you while you're sitting in the car.

 

No I haven't taken the control arms off at all. And yea I did end up measuring and adjusting the front L & R sides and the rear L & R sides to be the same. I just wanted to make sure that my car wouldn't handle any different.

 

i had a similar problem but it was due to my own stupidity. i put the control arm on upside down :doh: i kept on wondering why i had to adjust one side much higher than the other. then i got under the car and realized i was a complete moron.
