On the driver side of my car ( 2000 CSVT ) the H&R's sit perfect, lower in the front than the back. But on the passager side the back sits lower in than the front. Also the car pulls to the right when I am driving. Would a wheel alignment help ? Has anyone else experianced this
problem ? ( I just have H&R's on stock SVT suspension ). Thanks for your help ahead of time.

Deffinately sounds like Alignment. Was it done when they were installed?

Sounds like a blown gas strut (if you have them) or mis matched spring rates...the ride height should have been measured at install....a blown gas shock may have happend later...

An alignment was not done when the H&R's were installed. I also called the place that installed the springs and they is its impossible to mismatch a spring. I still could use some more insight.

Does the corner of the car that sits lo go bouncy bouncy bouncy when you push down and let go? I'm guessing bad strut?
Good luck,

I say get some advice from H&R. They either fudged something up on the install or you got shipped wrong springs on one side.

How long have the springs been installed on your car? I'm curious now.

dude!! you should always , always, always get a four wheel alignment done when you change your suspension, especially when raise or lower your ride, cause it is goin to fudge up everyhing... also have you been watchin your tires to see if they are wearing wrong? mine H&Rs are perfect, but I also got new struts... I love my H&Rs, only thing better is the GC and Koni setup which I am converting to soon!!
but yes, you need an alignment bad!!!
