both of them are yellow tho or are teh lgt yellow too? i just measured it with my key but u can just tell by looking at it thats how bad it is..

[havanisda]

I was just kiddin, if their yellow that's the Bilsteins'. I would use a tape measure and go from the ground (using the bottom of the tire 2 hold the tape) 2 the bottom of the wheelwell and see what u get.

fender to tire gap is about 4cm higher on left front and 6cm higher on rear left. is it alignment problem?

I'm just wondering why u didn't notice it the day u bought it which was a week ago but now it's painfully obvious?

some dealers a shadey and hide stuff like that a guy i met at a meet had a dealer try to hide scratches by leaving the trunk with cardboard in it and telling him how he was gonna yell at the detail guy.

It sounds like the previous owner may have taken off the stock suspenion and not put it back on correctly. If you don't align the springs on the shocks or align the top hat, you may end up with this problem.

Check to make sure the springs are the same and are align on the shocks correctly.

its a new car. it was sitting at the dealer for a year and had 133 miles on it already. i couldnt refuse the deal thats why i got it.. i have an appointment on friday so hopefully (crossing fingers) its not a big problem

[Dookie]

Oh in that case, yeah take it back to the dealer.

[ih8vtec13]

good luck, hopefully its a simple fix and you can get it taken care of quickly.

That does seem a bit out-of-whack......

For many of us, we've noticed *slight* differences - i.e. one to two cm.'s difference (one or two finger-widths, max.) between different sides of the vehicle, but it really shouldn't be as excessive as what was reported by the OP.

:(

You could get coilovers and solve it :lol:

updating: they told me my car is fine and did alginment and showed me the papers. the service guy said i might have to drive a little more for the springs and shock to get into place. but i was thinking wtf why does a new cars spring need to settle. the car feels like it has no problems. ill stress about when i drop my car later on.. thanks for input guys

[zarooo]

so they told you that even though the height is different on each side that it's "fine"?

i would bring that back and go find a different dealer, no matter how good the deal was.

[SubyDudeLA]

its too late now. imma drop my car later on so hopefully the problem will go away
