Well today I pulled both front springs...they looked and measured exactly the same. So I swapped them side to side...... I was very anal about making sure they sat in the pockets right at the "stop" in the groove at the top.....

Not as good as I had hoped....... it now sits about 1/2 inch different from side to side ....And thats with the car just dropped to the floor after the swap.... I havent driven it yet...so that diff may improve or worsen...we'll see

Visually it doesnt look as "tilted" as it did before, which is better than nothing. I checked my original manual and in the ride height section, they list the ride height and state that it should be +/- 1/2 inch side to side. So maybe the current ride height with the factory tolerances is as good as it gets.....

I cant say 100% that the car MEASURED equal side to side before, but I know it didnt LOOK tilted before. As long as the car doesnt look tilted enough that it catches my eye all the time, I may just live with it....

I plan on driving it around tomorrow, get the suspension alittle use and see what happens.
