Sagging springs



Hey guys,

I know I've seen through the years those who have complained about sagging
RR corners on 4kqs.  Seen it in the archives and general mail.

So what about the 5ktqs?    My RR is about 3/8s-1/2" lower than the right
side.   Well today I was going to swap out that spring with another of the
same I have here to see if it would be the same or taller or whatever.  So
I did a before measurement in the driveway.  RR was as expected.

What was not expected was the RF was 5/8" lower than the LF!  News to me. 
So the whole car is listing to the right.  I went to two level parking lots
and remeasured again.  Same thing.

Anyone got the same problem?  I also have one front spring from another car
I could put in to see but that is more work than the rear of course.

Makes a guy wish he had coilovers.

So anyone spotted this on their 5ktq?   Any ideas why the right side of
these cars or 4ks seem to sag more than the left?

Bummed
