[QUOTE=blackrat;4327843]Seems to be a typical problem with eibach springs

My 2001 Z28 sat 3/4" higher on the drivers side with STOCK springs.

if anyone notices just tell them it's because of all the torque.

i had the same issue on the left front after a complete suspension overhaul...left frt upper strut mount were the culprit.....but my 94 had a hard 95k on it. replaced them and ride height is level again. in your case this might not be the issue because i'm asuming your 2002 dosen't have almost 100k on it. just my .02

yes the rubber mount at that holds the spring/shock (strut) together at the top. if you can take the strut out, (driver side is more complicated because of master cylinder) look in the area were the shock proturdes through the rubber mont with the nut holding the shock and rubber mount inplace. if it torn or in bad shape that is most likely the culprit. with only 40k on the car, it sems unlikely the strut mount is the problem.

yea, those were all good. i am happy its the passanger side, cause they drivers side takes an extra hour each time i take it out. i am going ot try to re-alighn the controll arms, and if not, im gonna fab a spacer to fit between the spring seat and the shock brace.
