My apologies if I'm posting in the wrong section. First time ever posting anything on a forum.

That being said, I have a 2018 SS 1LE and I just had her lowered last week. Used Eibach Lowering Springs, as I have with all my other vehicles, and I'm lovin it! However, I did notice today that my passenger rear sits about a half inch lower than my drivers side rear...

I can easily get two fingers in the wheel gap on drivers side rear, but can only get one on the passengers side rear.

Anyone else experiencing this or something similar??? It's driving me crazy and making me wonder if something was done wrong during install!!!

First two things that pop into mind are:

1) Anything in the car that could be causing uneven weight distribution?

2) For any bushing joints that were unbolted, were they bolted back together with the car on the ground or in the air?

Sometimes, it might as stupid as the ground not being leveled. Unless your car is sitting on a very flat surface, sometimes a small bump on the ground will make the suspension compensate and create that unevenness.

I would raise it up and take the wheels off and make sure the spring on the drivers side is fully seated and correctly seated within the top and bottom rubber.

compare both sides closely.

As I stated earlier, first time posting and this is AWESOME! Love the support and all the replies with suggestions and ideas of possible solutions!

After noticing the uneven ride height in my driveway, I automatically became paranoid and started looking at it every time I got in and out of the car! I noticed that, when sitting on a FLAT surface, all four corners were even.

My driveway, as do most, has a slight incline or decline, depending on how you look at lol. When I back my car into my driveway and park it, I notice the two sides become uneven as the car rolls forward, locking into that parked position. Not quite sure why, but I pulled onto the road and parked it, and all four corners were even again!

So, I guess it just depends on where and how the car is sitting that affects the height of all four individual corners. Freaked me out a bit since I only noticed it AFTER my springs were installed.

Buddy of mine just picked up an SS 1LE and I will have him over one day next week to test my theory on his car with the factory suspension. We shall see what happens!

Thanks again to all those of you that replied to my first post on this forum!!

Cheers!

Sorry to resurrect this. I’m measuring from the top of my wheel to the fender on my stock SS 1LE. There is about a 1/8-1/6” difference between front driver and passenger side. The higher side also has about 2-3 psi more in that tire. Wondering if tire psi has any affect on that difference.

My right side front and rear is 1/8 to 3/16” higher then the left. That’s full tank gas and a hotchkiss front sway bar. For accuracy measure on dead level surface, and from lower wheel lip to fender lip in center of arch. That way it takes out tire/ psi variables. If surface is sloped one side to another, the high side will be taller
