Uneven drop on rear wheels after H&R spring install. HELP!

///mfizzle · 10-15-2014, 11:08 AM

Hey guys,

Alright so I installed the H&R sports on my e92 335i stock struts and shocks. And now the rear driver side fender sits waaaay lower than the passenger side fender. The driver side rear rubs any time I hit a bump or anything, the passenger side has never rubbed. I've had the springs in for about 6 months now and they're still both horribly uneven. I just started as a tech at BMW and I've looked at everything to make sure the springs are seated properly and there's nothing wrong with them.

Is this normal? I can't be the only one with this issue. It's driving me crazy and my poor fender has tire all over it from rubbing so much.

Did you pre load the suspension?

Same thing happened to me on my e90 except it's the passenger side rear. Luckily I'm on kw v1 coils so I landed up just maxing out the rear passenger side to get the same drop on the rear driver side. I preloaded my suspension with a jack when I tightened the control arms. Not sure why I have this issue.
