Check your top mounts. How were they when you insatlled the Konis? If alignment & all else check out, get 2pairs of adjustable control arms or you might wanna try the hobo Mr. Bean approach: add a 10mm spacer on the sunken corner.

lol as much as I don't want to, it may come to that!

Everything seemed fine when I put the konis on too. I'm really hoping it turns out to be the subframe that was just put on off kilter. But I had my alignment done when my car was the way it was now so hopefully by fixing the unevenness I don't throw that off too.

Dumb Mr. Bean question: Are you really sure your new wheels have the same offset for all 4?

I actually haven't put them on yet so all my measurements are being taken with a set of x lites.

That would be pretty funny though if they were somehow different

This may sound like a basic question but since nobody brought it up, have you driven or moved the car since putting it back down?

I had actually considered that myself, that maybe the way the car was sitting was what was throwing things off. But I put the suspension on almost a year ago and drove it all the way until this past november. Its just been sitting since then.

Having said that, I really appreciate all the ideas you guys been giving me. Its going to drive me crazy not knowing the issue for a few more weeks. I wanted to take the car out sooner, but we just got a foot of snow where I am
