Uneven Wheel well spacing after Eibach ProKit install

[blue89formula]

About 6 months ago I installed a set of Eibach ProKit 1" drop springs on my 89 Formula along with new front 1LE lower control arms. Since then, the spacing between my tires and the fender is uneven from side to side in the front and about one and a half inches higher in the front than in the rear. I asked around after putting them in and was told by several local shops that the springs will settle and I just have to give them time. I'm not so sure this is the case seeing as how it has been six months and no change. Everything seems to be in place under the car, I would just like to know if this is a common probelm and I should keep waiting, or if someone has seen this before and knows what might be wrong. I decided to go with these springs due to there good reputation and the way they make to car look compared to the factory ride height. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

i would make sure they are seated right.

springs do need time "to settle" just maybe under a week or so i would think.

could be the rubber isolators are uneven some.

Did you align them right? The bottom end of the coil is supposed to be between the two little drain holes in the lower control arm. It could also be that one of the springs is missing the rubber ring thing (for lack of a better term) that goes on top of the spring. Are the springs seated correctly in the groove at the top?

If all that comes out ok then I would try switching springs from side to side to see if that changes anything.

Oh yeah, and what is different about a 1LE control arm? I didn't think the 1LE package specified a new control arm.

Thanks for the replies. I believe that the problem is probably that I did not properly index the springs in the A-arm seats. I will, within the next few weeks, be taking the springs back out and trying to reseat them. I'm hoping this is all that it needs. The car hasn't been in any accidents or anything like that, and it sat level with the old springs installed. This is where lack of attention to certain detail will get you I guess. The 1LE A-arms just came with stiffer bushings than the factory ones. When I took the old ones out, I didn't have the time to press out the old bushings, so I just got new ones, with stiffer bushings. Thanks again. I'll let you know when I get this straightened out.

you will also need to order and install an adjustable track bar to center the rear end under the car.when u lowered it,the track bar pushed the rearend to the right under the car because it cannot adjust itself for a change in ride hight.i have done this and itr works great.
