hi mates, I don't know if it's in the wrong section or not but, I have a problem and would like some help. I noticed that the front left ride height of my ek9 is getting lower by time, has it happened to any of you guys? The shock isn't leaking...could it be the upper arm??

It had the tein super street coilovers installed. After about 2 months that i installed the coilovers I noticed it getting lower and thought that the problem was the coilovers. Now I reinstalled the oem springs + shocks and the problem is still there... :mad:
 
I will try to flip the front complete shocks from left to right and will let you now...
 
Be sure that you haven't switched the rear springs to the front and front springs to rear by mistake
 
check your upper control arm bushings! also, check the bushing housing! i have seen once before where the bushing housing gets "worn" and over time when driving the actual bushing turns inside the housing resulting in the upper control arm sitting higher making the carlook like the fender is sitting closer to the wheel.
