    Default Mustang Drag setup question

    any reason my passenger side would be set a half inch higher on my coilover? Car is currently like that, Im going to be taking it in for an alignment this week and wanna know if i should level it back out beforehand or if its setup like that to keep it level once it gets torque put through it

    my first guess would be that its set like that to level out when your in the throttle. Just my opinion though. Never used coil over's but they have to work the same as any other coil spring, so thats my guess. never noticed if any other mustangs or coil over cars sit like that, never even new to look.

    could be preloading that side of the car. So the front comes up even on hard acceleration.

    I have heard it takes some time for them to fully settle.

    I have the same issue with my car. I have both coilovers adjusted to the same position on the sleeve but the passenger side does sit higher. I still have my battery under the hood so maybe its the extra weight on the driver side.

    When you preload the rt side of your anti roll bar it will push the left front down a little.

    Or if the collar is in the same location as the other side, the spring might be sagging. What brand springs are they?
