Suspension Help

I have an 03 convertible. It was leaning to the drivers side after 107000 miles on it. This weekend I put in a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs and found out that my coil spring on the drivers side front was broken down in the cup. it was in the iso bushing so you couldn't tell with a visual inspection. So after finding that I assumed that the springs would level her out again. However this is not the case.

Now I have the drivers side rear sagging. The drivers side front and entire left side tire gap is about 2 inches. the drivers rear is 1-1/2" Would replacing the rear shocks level it or do you think I have a bad spring from Eibach.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately that is pretty normal. I wish I had a better news than that, but unfortunaltely most Mustangs will be just like that (leaning). One way you could even it out is to pull the isos out from the other springs. Just a thought, but also, I would wait for them to get broken in before you try anything crazy.

Replacing the shocks will do nothing for ride height.

Did you make sure the bottom coil on the rear springs were both pointing in the same direction? If they are not, it's a quick fix. Like CNTCHDS said, shocks will do nothing for ride height.
