Hello community! I got Megan Racing springs installed last week. I love the results, but when I looked at the rear springs today, and it looked uneven? Sorry it’s my first time lowering. Would love your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

Here are the pics:

Check underneath the main arm to see if the spring seat nipples are sticking through. They should be. If they’re not, the spring seat is rotated and might not be sitting flat on the arm. This might cause the springs to not compress exactly square.

The seat nipples are out, but only half way. 1 out of 4 is poking really out.

Thanks, I’ll pull them or reseat them this weekend.

@Multaq - We really didn’t need to do anything, just jacked the car up, removed the rear tires then pushed the spring seat down where the nipples are located. popped right out. If the spring seat nipples arent even peaking on yours, you might have to re-seat the springs. Sorry if this isn’t much help.

So those silver things are supposed to be sticking out?
Yes, they’re part of the rubber that you put at the bottom of the rear spring.

Is the actual ride height ok/Even?
Since both springs are in a different clocked position it’s hard to really compare.

The drive is unaffected, not sure about the height, buddy of mine says my parking spot is probably uneven. So I at this point, I don't know. I'd have to take a photo on a tripod to find out.
