what causes gangster lean on da's?

i know it’s from all the weight of the engine being on the driver side but what would i have to replace to make my car even. new struts? i got new tein lowering springs.

funny I never noticed my car doing that while im in it. I think you might have blowin shocks… you should push down on the driver rear and front and see if it downs down more than 1". If it feels like its soft and the entore cars moves then your shocks are blown.

if the car is saging in one corner then chances are the strut has gone bad and needs replacement

Tell your fat girlfriend to sit on the passenger side in the back, that should fix things.

(Sorry, I couldn’t help it, no actual offense intended, just joking around.)

There is a possibility you have an issue with the new springs (if it didn’t do it before). If you bought those springs off of ebay, they could be crappy knock-offs and one of them could be sagging.

Dampers do not affect static ride height.

Is the lean significant? My front driver’s side spring (OEM original) was broken at the bottom coil, which caused it to be about 1/4"-1/2" lower on that side. There was a visible difference.

I haven’t measured the difference in height lately, but replacing the springs with new H&R OE Sports made a significant difference once they had settled.

6 years of G2IC will give the DA the gangster lean…

After second thought, I retract my previus statement. not sure why I was thinking that!!

This is correct.

it was like this before i put on the new tein springs and my rear struts are new also. the teins arent a knock off either. my car rides very smooth but i dont understand why one side is 1/2" lower in the front and back. ive read a couple threads on this and its a common problem so whats a good solution? im about to put on coil overs and new front struts because thats all i can think of

just a suggestion, but have you checked to see if the strut sits all the way down in the fork? ive seen this be a problem before so its worth looking into.

Worn bushings can cause this.

which bushings?

:cool:
