struct query

hi to all

quick question
i put on tein lowering springs with kyb exel-g structs
but im noticing my left wheel is further inside under the fender as opposed to the right wheel is further outside

do i have to change the way how the shock mount is set?

I'm assuming your talking about the front because there's four bolts on those mounts. Sounds like you ended up installing in the wrong orientation. Orientation is important. The factory mounts have dots painted on them to help indicate the correct orientation. Do a search on here, yo.

Yes the mounts on top are eccentric. There is a white or blue dot painted on the top of the strut mounts visible from under the hood. The position of these alter your alignment.

Also, don't forget the rear mounts: mount marked R goes on the passenger side and mount marked L goes on the driver side. But tell me are your springs making a lot of noise in the rear?

That's only a rough adjustment. You'll still need to get a full alignment done or you can kiss your tires goodbye.
