Re:

First thing i did when i got my Tech 1 sport was pull out the carpets and remove the kit.

Re: 60mm drop on pass rear looks pants

I had the very same problem a few months back,there was about
20mil difference with mine could not figure it out.
People were telling me it will settle but I told them not 20mil.
I was wrong,give it a few weeks :D

uneven rear springs

I replaced rear top mounts,droplinks,shocks and springs today.
When all was done and sitting back down i noticed the drivers side was about 10mm lower than passenger side.
Will this balance out over time or what could be the cause?
Both tyres are same size.

Thanks
