It's been bugging me for a while now. But my passenger rear side does not drop as much as the driver rear side. It's about 1/2" difference. Also my passenger rear is squeeking. I have steeda springs and tokico illumnas shock.. anyone know how to fix this? other people won't notice it... but me.
Uneven drop from springs? How to fix?

i think its a mustang trait, my 93gt was like this before and after i lowered it, my 00gt was like this before and after lowering and my mach1 is about a quarter inch higher on the passenger rear than the drivers rear

i've heard a "theory" on this, i have no idea if has any truth to it at all.
i've heard that the right side will sit lower occasionally due to that's the way the car torques on a hard take off.
but my better judgement guess would be you need to turn your passenger side spring a bit so it's even with the other. if the pig tail on the springs are not facing the proper way, it can cause one side to ride a bit higher

I installed Eibach Pro-kit and had about 3/4" difference between the two sides. I even put the taller ones on the driver's side. I'm usually the only one in the car so that may have made the driver's side settle first. I was out of town a couple of weeks this year and while I was out I put 100lbs of weight on the passenger side floor and this did help settle the passenger side out and now the difference is only half as bad.

When you replaced the rear springs, did you install the tangs in the same position? Are the isolators in good shape? Things to consider...

I replaced the springs on my car with a Eibach Pro-Kit , before my car was higher on the right side ( passenger front & rear ) so I thought it will level with the new springs but no it was still the same so I removed the insolator on the rear right side to doubled the rear left one and for the front( kept insolator) I lined up the end of the right coil on toward the inside of the car and the left side toward the outside of the car . It did solve most of it now I have less then 1/4" difference compare to over 1/2".

You can get some adjustable "weight jacker" LCA's that allow you to set whatever height you want. Obviously this would only address the rear. I see in your mod list that you already have MM LCA's so you likely won't gravitate to my suggestion. However, as I have seen it there are three good makes for this type of arm (and likely more): MM, Steeda, and Pro3i.

you can turn the springs in the rear so that it will sit higher or lower by about half an inch. There is a high and low seating position.. so just turn one of the springs or both so that they are sitting the same way.CottonBurnerz said:
