Just went about Installing my Ignalls ETD but came into a problem

I had a strut bar on, so i took it off. I decided to raise the car because i hear that to install the strut bar and get the most out of it as far as stiffening up the car a little (ive heard so many arguements for that for the S2000 the strut bar does not really do anything either way but i thought if im gunna take it on and off might as well do it the way which people say it is to be done)

So without the strut bar and without the bolts put back in the screws next to the strut bar tower - i lifted all 4 corners of the car to get ready for the installation process. Now when i got back to the engine bay, i realized that my left Strut bar tower and the screws were significantly lower than they were before and lower than the right side. But this was WITH the wheels on so i figured its probably weighing it down...but why is the other side still higher?? Should i lower the car and take the wheels off and than try again? Or is my left spring/strut tower worn??

Left Tower is noticeably lower, and the screw behind is even lower, i couldnt even get the bolt to screen on.


Right Tower

 

NO responses?! Bump!!

 

You need to push the coil over back up into the tower. It's "sinking" because it is sagging away from the tower because the suspension is not loaded.

 

just put the nuts on and tighten them down... they will pull the shock back against the tower.

 

put the car back down on the ground!
