It's been a while since I have posted in my thread. I haven't touched my car other than mocking up my audio system to finalize speaker placement. I didn't bother with taking pictures as I'm sure most in this crowd aren't that interested in car audio. I did do a more extensive audio build than I originally set out to do. I haven't messed around with audio much in quite a few years, so I decided to do a high-end system on this car.

Enough of all that. Last week I finally broke down and decided I was tired of the gravel turn-around at my house. Years of driving on it had caused ruts and grass had taken it over, so it wasn't very attractive. I had 4 dump truck loads of dirt put in and 30 yards of concrete poured. I still have about 250 ft of gravel driveway to the street that I have not addressed yet. Maybe before the summer is over I can get that section taken care of.

Since I finally have some concrete outside of my garage, I decided to pull my car out so I can get a view of it from a distance. It certainly helped as I noticed some things I didn't notice before. Since I have installed the Ridetech rear 4-link in the car, I have noticed my car sits 3/4" higher on the drivers side as opposed to the passenger side. With the car out of the garage, I can also see the driver rear wheel is further forward in the wheelwell than the passenger side. You can see this in the pictures. Would that misalignment possibly cause the drivers side to be higher than the passenger side? I do not have the coilovers in the car right now. I made brackets to maintain ride height. The are all the exact length from side to side, so they are not causing the problem.

Another thing, do I need to tuck in the rear wheels a bit further in the wheel wells? They seem to be sticking out a bit far. I must say, I have been on the fence about my wheel purchase since I bought them, but I really do like the way they look standing off looking at the car. They certainly aren't the Forgelines I want, but they look good to me.
