Added the 5mm spacer in the rear driver side in an attempt to even out the wheel offset due to our crooked torsion beam.. Still doesn't look even. Not really sure what else I can do haha. Now the driver side looks more flush than the rear passenger side.

Put that spacer to the passenger side? I also have the issue. 10mm hub spacer on one side, a 3mm on the other.

haha it comes with the territory. I say no go low and get used to it so youre not trying to get comfortable with a new slam AND new wheels. I tried removing the last collar i have left in the rear but the threads are marred so it gets stuck almost at the very top.

and please keep posting pics, this thread is becoming an open forum now lol

Ohh it's the rear passenger side that needs the extra spacer to be even? I could have sworn it was the driver side. But for sure man I'll check it out.

youre debating whether to go low now and then get new wheels or wait, get new wheels and then go lower. I say go with the first that way you get used to being that slammed and then you only have to get used to new wheels when theyre on. If you wait to slam it until after wheels then youre trying to get used to new ride height and new wheels. Its always wise to do one thing at a time, especially with extreme mods like slammed height and wild fitment, diagnosing problems is easier too

Ohhh yeah man definitely. That does make sense though. I'm used to driving slammed, I'm just not used to driving low with poke. Now that I will have to get used to lol.

The rears are still uneven.. It's bothering me a lotttt. Lol. Anyone else have this problem with Megan Racing coilovers? I took off the locks, and perches, and they're still uneven! The rear driver side is like a little more than a quarter of an inch lower than the rear passenger side. I'm stuck. On top of that my ABS and VSC lights are still on. I wonder if they even work anymore..

My rear is also uneven. It must just be the car body isnt just not even laterally but also ride height.

My passenger side (or is it driver i forget) is like yours about a 1/4 inch lower. I have to keep one ring on the perch just to even it out. So one side has a ring the other doesnt.

As for ABS and VSC. Check the abs connector. either its loose or the abs sensor is dirty.

Ahh okay so at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem! Thanks for the help man. My friends say I might have stretched the wires when we lowered it or something like that..

Here's a picture of her good side haha. This is how low I want the rear to be. (Obviously since I cannot go any lower until I get shorter stiffer springs haha)

I wanna get my stock wheels back out to see how low the car looks with them on lol.

But yeah, maybe just add the perch to the driver side. I myself wouldnt ride without the perches, then again im on 9k 6" springs so they dont compress much so can fall out.

Being lazy that I am, what are the spring rates on the megans, and are the rear shocks height adjustable?

Fronts are 5k, Rears are 2.5k. Yeah if if these springs did not compress the way they do I would not ride without the perches either. Also, the rear shocks are height adjustable. But I threaded them down to the limit I think. There are still threads but it would not let me go down and more. I don't know why. Laz said he thinks they're supposed to stop there. I'll post pics.

Here is the driver side rear shock. It looks like I can thread the nut lower but I remember not being able to.. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try. If I could thread the nut down just a little more on the passenger side that would be PERFECT!
