elmafud Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 hi, i have an mx5 mk1 and one of the front springs was broke, i happened to have a set of spax non adjustable ride height shocks and springs so decided to fit these instead of buying a new front spring. my friend and i managed to fit the front ones but after fitting them noticed the ride height was lower on one side than the other (approx 20mm lower driver side than pass side) we drove the car to allow the suspention to settle down but still didnt level up. we didnt check the ride height before the swap so maybe it was 20mm out before, but now it sits lower its more noticable. thanks for reading. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Hello Rob This is very common on the 5, can you measure all the trim values so we have a better image of the sprung body. Historically the reason is incorrect or unbalanced camber positions or a diagonal twist in the chassis..... Reads a bit desperate but it's not. If you can post the four corner values it would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
