Rear Not Level

Try turning the springs around a bit. I had this problem as well, but you can see the lower control arm sits on an angle while the top of the spring sits flat. This means the end of the coil needs to be either towards the diff or towards the wheel. You can raise / lower the car by a small amount by turning the springs.

The springs were probably just shoved in and left in what ever position they popped in at, I did it at first and my mates car which was already lowered was the same, and had the same problem.

I think I turned my springs so that the end of the coil was towards the diff, pretty sure that lowered it as much as possible. One spring end will face the front of the car and one will face the back.

Hope that helps, it's kinda hard to explain...

if no joy then slip a 10mm nolathane spacer between the top rubber and the body- NOT between the spring and the top rubber.

@SteveR wtf?

I've been having this issue as well.

To get the rear level this is what my rear springs need to be set at

Any logical explanations for this?

That's a bit of a difference!

I know when I took some rear springs out of my car one side (I think it was the left) had compressed quite a bit more than the other.

The cars tend to squat on the left and lick the rear out to the left don't they?

May compress the spring on one side more than the other.

Rotating LHS to RHS springs could be the problem unless the diff is not aligned.
