So I can't take it anymore.....the fact that one side of my car in the rear sits 1/4in higher than the other has bugged me for too long. I did go and order some energy suspension isolators to shim that one side (as I'm not running any right now) but figure before I do that I may as well double check to make sure my sprins are properly rotated.....

I can't find the thread I used for install about the way the pigtails in back should be facing....

If you guys now off the top of your head I'd appreciate it

my stock ones were facing toward the driver side so i put my new springs in the same way

haven't had any problems and it sits level side to side

man was that fast, thank you.....


question for you guys....for the life of me, I don't recall the car ever sitting uneven before I put on the springs a year ago....although, I hadn't owned the car for very long and maybe it was so high off the ground I just didn't notice....

I understand it's more than likely that it's just the way my car is....but is it possible that the spring could be the culprit? I was thinking about just swapping them for one side to the other in the rear just to see what happened..... though not sure what it would prove one way or the other.....

you could always try and swap the springs, but 9/10 times its just the way the car sit.... I know many of us have this problem.
