    I moved from low profile tires on HRE's to standard Michellen super sport 2's and they fit great in the front and right rear. The left rear it is a bit tight in the wheel well and in bumps is hitting the outer wheel well. I noticed the right wheel well is up about a half an inch more than the left- seems like the suspension is drooping a bit on the left. Is tere an adjustment I can do or do I need to go to Algar.

    Thanks

    If one side of your car is higher/lower than the other you may need to adjust the coil-overs.

    You can adjust that. The problem is finding the right adjustment. To do this you have to put the car on perfectly level ground. If your left rear is low, check your front right and make sure it isnt higher than the front left. If it is, it will push your back left down. If the front left and right are the exact same height then you have to adjust the back left higher. Pull the wheel and look at the lock ring and the adjusting nut. You have to have the right tool for this. you have to loosen the lock ring and then turn the adjusting nut higher to lift the car. If you are out .5 of an inch then turn it up about 5 turns and put it back together. Drive it and then measure again by parking the car in the same spot. If it is still low, repeat with the amount of adustment you see fit. Also check your front right and make sure you didnt push it down too much by lifting the left rear. If it is then a couple of turns on the front right will make it good.

    PS dont forget to tighten the locking ring. :)
