lowering kit

timid445 · 01-24-2008, 02:42 AM

so i just got a new lowering kit for my 1998 audi a4 1.8t fwd and i installed it and now the back of my car is uneven, one side is higher than the other. So how can i fix it?
And i also have that ugly black stock side skirts on my car so is there kits out there to replace them so that they match the color of the car?
Thanks

I would check that the springs are seated in the correct position.

As for your side skirts you can paint them or upgrade them to say S4 spec (which are painted) or go aftermarket.

i had made sure of that when i first installed them and i just rechecked today and they were seated correctly

they are not ebay "specials" are they?

was the car sitting level before hand? if this is the case and you are 100% sure about the springs being seated correctly then the issue has to be the springs.

the car was level before i lowered the car, i just got a wheel alaignment and it made it so that its only 3/4 of an inch higher on one side than the other

i take it all your wheels and tyres are the same size?
if the tracking was done, when it gets leveled out, the tracking will probably be out again

yea they are the same size and the tread wear is equal
