Ride height for bilstein level 2 help.

Post by 71455Formula » Wed Apr 30, 2025 8:31 pm

I have an 02 Hawk with the bilstein level 2 and i am needing some help. Does anyone have a factory stock car that they can take some measurements for me? My right front sits about a 1/2 inch lower than my drivers side. Would you be willing to measure on a flat surface from ground to the top of the wheel arches on all 4 corners? I'm not sure if it's which is correct. If the drivers or the passengers is correct. Thank you in advance.

Ben

Update question.

The rear spring. Are they supposed to be blue like the front ones?

Check that the rubber spacer on top of the upper control arm mount is there

Everything was there installed. However, riddle me this; riddle me that.

I measures the ride height of the Firehawk this morning and it was about 25 7/8 inches on the passenger side. I went and checked it out after driving it for a bit and now it's 26 1/8 inches; sitting even with the drivers.

Only thing i can think is that the shock is toast.
