Rear sagging on brand new tokico/eibach

Rear sagging on brand new tokico/eibach

Postby hari-bhari » Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:12 pm

I just got replacement springs and struts from eibach and tokico about two months ago, but my rear is MUCH lower than the front, feels like it's sagging. I'm running 19" wheels with 225/35/19 tires, and in the front I have about a 3 finger gap whereas the rear I have not even 1 finger. The ride also feels pretty soft and bouncy from the rear, like its sagging. The only thing in the trunk is one 12" sub, and I don't think that would cause so much sagging alone. Overall the ride feels much softer than what I remember from a brand new suspension in the past. What do you guys thing it could be? Could bad bushings or mounts cause a sag? Maybe a bad set of struts (although both rear struts being bad would be odd)? Any ideas are appreciated.

I think there have been complaints on here before about the drop not being even with certain spring sets. I can't think of a reason for the ride to be softer though.

negative. there is a difference between a sag (softness) and a difference in ride height. there should be a difference of about 1 finger between front and rear with the eibachs but the ride shouldnt be soft and pillowy
