VY S II
hey guys and girls, i drive a VY S II and just had my car lowered (professional, not DIY) and 2 weeks later i have noticed that it now sits un-even. the left rear is lower than the right rear?? i can only just squeez my hand between the gaurd and the trye on the left rear (how i want it) but on the right side i hav plenty of room for my hand to move up and down between the trye and the gaurd? i havnt measure exactly but at a guess i would say its about 5mm higher than the left side.
any ideas why this has happened??
thanks

take the car back to where you got the lowering done and ask them?

its only 5mm but its so annoying! if i got it dont by professionals i expect it to be done right. how did they fix yours? and i heard from a friend that it could be a rotated spring but it shouldnt happen in the first place?

mine sits the same too. but it was installed by the last owner +3 years ago (by a profesional shop).
havnt been bothered to try fix it.
if they have a solution, please tell is and maybe i can do it to mine...but im thinking of baging the rear of mine.

Either the spring isn't seated properly or they are uneven in their stiffness/height.

Now that it's lowered it is a lot easier to get the springs in and out, swap the rears left to right and see if it makes a difference. If not, then swap the fronts.
