Hi, I figure some of you suspension guru here may answer this dumb question I have. I have the Roush single adjustable coilovers and the car was sitting fine at 1.5" drop in the front and 1.0" drop in the rear (default ride height from Roush). Rest of the suspension was stock until I recently upgraded all of this in one sitting:
Installed all at once:
BMR Rear LCA Specirical Bushing
Steeda Rear Adjustable Camber Arms
Steeda Rear Adjustable Toe Rods (Upgraded Knuckle Bushing)
Steeda Rear Vertical Links
Steeda Rear Subframe Alignment and Bushing Lockout Kit
Steeda Rear Differential Bushing (Red)
Steeda Rear Subframe Braces
Steeda Front K-Member Brace
FPRP Halfshafts
UPR Engine Mount (lowered by 1/4")
DSS Carbon Driveshaft
MGW X-Spec Shifter
Whiteline Transmission Mount (will be removing this in a few hours)
Whiteline Front and Rear Adjustable Endlinks
Eibach Front and Rear Sway Bars (Both Middle Settings)
I expected more NVH and definitely got it, but I was fine with it and nothing sounded off or wrong during the test drive around the block. I hear the shifter more everytime I go into first and second and there is a metal clunking noise in the rear as I roll over bumps at 5-20 mph.
After all the upgrades to the suspension, is it normal to have the ride height affected? Meaning one corner raised or lowered than normal? My fronts and driver side rear all looks normal, but the rear passenger side dropped another 1/2" and looks like its on bags.
I will check my suspension and check the torque on all the bolts again. Planning on checking the axle bolts and clocking any rubber bushings (I think its is just the rear lower control arm left with a rubber bushing). I think I will ultimately conclude to raising the ride height, but I am a little worry that the balance will be off or is that normal for ride height adjustable suspensions? Meaning it is normal to have the springs more compressed to raised the height on one side or are you suppose to adjust all four corners equally?
