    good day guys. need expert advise on my corolla '90. i've just changed my rear springs to lowering ones (tama ba yung term?) and pinatanggal ko yung lifters. the front has already been lowered when i bought her. problem is, di pantay yung tindig. sinukat ko yung distance sa gulong hanggang tapalodo, sa front left, 2 fingers; front right, 3 fingers; rear left, 2 fingers; rear right, 3 fingers. in short, mas mababa yung left side ng 1 finger. would you guys know how i could have this slight difference fixed and where could i bring my ride to have it done.

    parehas ba na brand at drop ang binili mo?If yes
    Correct me if I am wrong usually kapag hindi pantay either cut (which is not advisable) or lagyan ng lifter yung kabila para pumantay lang o baka sira na.

    Likely you'll have to wait a few more days for it to settle, pero another reason may be damage from a previous accident/owner.

    maybe you guys are right. the lowering springs at the back, i got from a shop at banawe that my pop-n-law knows. pantay naman, kasi pinag-pantay muna before ikinabit. having to wait for it to settle down, mukhang ok naman na ngayon. slight na lang yung difference. about a previous accident, siguro nga meron. napansin ko na yung left tire ko mas pasok konti kesa dun sa right. any advise on auto repair shops that are experts on this?

    wow.....90 corolla, my college barkada has one but sold it before migrating to the US....we loved his dropped ride......naka 15 in rims at 50 series.....his ride was so low that you cant insert even one finger in between the tire and fender

    he had the same problem nung pina-compress niya yung spring niya sa west ave......pero nag settle naman after 3 days.....

    we used to race at Roxas blvd every sat midnite after gimik but my Civic Lxi could not catch up especially when he installed a muffler and header combo....

    haaayyy.....college life talaga, nakaka-miss hehehe

    Ibig sabihin nga nun, misaligned na yung suspension posts or yung suspension members. If you're lucky, it can be reset by wheel alignment, if not, maybe some minor bodywork around the suspension mounts will be needed. But if you can get it fairly straight by wheel alignment, I wouldn't subject my car to much more stress.

help; di pantay bagsak ng auto ko
