H&R/BAT Issues

[bhiggs89]

I went ahead and replaced the stock suspension a couple months ago, and decided to go with the BAT struts and H&R springs because I liked the "raked" look. I replaced the shock mounts at the same time. Immediately after installing everything I noticed that the back end was lower than the front, and the front still had some wheel gap. I just figured that the suspension needed time to settle for everything to look how it was supposed to. Well fast forward to 2 months later and it still looks the same, maybe even worse.

Has anyone else had any problems with this combo? Is this a strut issue, or spring issue? The top 1/2"-3/4" of the rear tires are tucked up in the fender, while there is about 1-1/2-2" gap on the front tires.

I can't complain with the performance, it handles amazingly, especially compared to the severely blown/broken stock combo. But I spent extra to get the look I wanted, and got the opposite.

sounds like you might be missing the spring seat in the rear. the mount alone will fit the springs but the rear will sit too low.

I don't remember reading anything about a spring seat when I was doing the research. The spring/strut combo that came out didn't have any parts on it that the spring/strut combo that went in. Maybe thats why it always sat lower in the rear?

Thanks for the help.

I cant find any good pics at the moment but there is 2 pieces to the rear mount, the mount itself and the spring seat.
