Default Why is my S sitting crooked?

hey guys,

just curious, what would cause the fender gap to be different from one side of the car to the other?

i have 18's on my car now with stock suspension, and my left rear is about a 1 finger gap, and its about 2 almost 3 finger gap on the right rear. its very noticeable, and i was wondering what would cause this?

thanks for any help..

I think most car companies usually have +/- tolerances for ride height. Drivers side is usually higher if I remember correctly? Yours sounds extreme though. Is your spring sitting correctly in the perch in the rear?

Have you checked for the spring spacers that come with the car upon delivery? I'm not sure if that would make this big of a difference but you never know

Spring spacers, blown shocks, tire pressure?
