Hi friends, I installed ST XA coilovers 2 weeks ago. I’ve been trying to make all 4 corners even with a 1.5” drop or at least make the fronts even and backs even, but the task seems impossible. Whenever I raise or lower one wheel, the other 3 wheels will raise or lower an unpredictable amount and I never know if it will be raised or lowered. How did you go about leveling all 4 corners when adjusting one corner drastically changes other corners? Here are the best numbers I was able to get so far just randomly raising and lowering at arbitrary amounts:
Perch height/Fender to top of rim height in mm
Driver Front 126/130.8
Passenger Front: 115.1/135.1
Passenger Rear 44.4/133.4
Driver Rear: 44/140.5
The fronts tend to raise and lower together, for example raising the driver front 3mm will also raise the passenger front 2mm. Seems like I keep chasing evenness, but can never achieve. Then the rears also change, which also affects the front. Please help, what are your strategies? This seems to be more of a Tesla specific issue with the incredibly rigid frame, I hadn’t had this problem on my 94 Honda Prelude with coilovers.
