(shrug) Hey all. Just a quick update and question.
1. I purchased my new P5 two weeks ago and I love it. The DG lip will be delivered tomorrow, my new 17's and tires have been put on, as well as my Eibach Pro-Kit and Tokico shocks. (Pics to come soon, once the lip is installed) This thing is sweet, which is where my problem lies:

2. My local speed shop did the drop this weekend. Everything looked great until Sunday morning I woke up and noticed the right-rear of the car was an inch higher than the other corners. After running some errands, I came back home and the right rear had dropped down to be even with the other corners.
Now I know springs settle a bit after installation, and sometimes they need a good bump to "pop" them in place, but this has now happened several times to the right rear. It seems to go up and down for no reason. Every other time I get out of the car, it's either too high or down to the correct height.
Has anyone ever had this problem when dropping a P5? Defective shock? Please tell me what you guys think! (hand)
 
my tokico hps and pro-kit settled as soon as i installed them, they were even at all the corners. could be a defective strut if it keeps on happening. but i'm not exactly sure. what does the installer think?
 
Yeah, I'd definitely get it checked out. Since they did the work, they should fix it if it was their problem.

On a side note: I wish I could have done so much stuff to my p5 two weeks after I bought it! :) It's taken me almost two years to get where I am...which isn't far. Good luck w/everything.
 
could be the top of the bushing isn't seating right. I don't know the technical terms but that or the bumpstop is moving.

Where do you live?
What shop did it?
 
Do you hear any clunking or anything?
With you on the outside (no one in the car) if you press down on that corner a few times does it bounce back accordingly? or stay up?
Are all the springs/shocks the same? (have you personally checked) ..shop may have screwed up and installed a diff shock/spring to cover up their asses. I've heard of that happening before.
Was hoping you lived in ga or nearby
