sensor lowering / ride height

[turborich]

OK guys and gals, I already sensor lowered my 95 mark VIII. What I did in the front instead of just drilling a hole directly underneath the top bolt hole I made a slot about 3/4 of an inch long so I could adjust it. I used a dremel tool with a small metal grinding atachment, same for the back, I just made the slot a lil bigger, Now I have a question. I am a bit of a perfectionist so.... I used a yard stick to measure all 4 of the fenders, from the ground to the middle of each fender above the tire. I have got the front aprox 3/4" to 1" lower than the back, thats how I wanted it. BUT... in the back the passenger side sits about 1/2" higher than the drivers! Why is this? There is only (1) height sensor in the rear so shouldn't the rear go down or up the exact same? The front is within a 1/8 of an inch so I can live with that. Any suggestions? Maybe other folks woudn't notice it but I do! Do both of the rear bags bleed out of (1) solenoid? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rich. Going to get my windows tinted tomorrow!

Mine is the same way. I sensor lowered the front, but not the back. I'm still a ½” off though. Being the third owner of the car it could have been lowered in the rear already.
I was thinking that the system had a brain fart and left to much air in the right as apposed to the left. Over time a little bit here and there can add up. With the sensor on the left side the computer can’t see the right side to bleed it off. (One sensor, two solenoids).
I have been thinking that the left has a leak in it as I had noticed the “lean” at about the same time the compressor has been topping off the rear more often. Could be cold weather related too.

you have to drive the car abit, its not gonna sit exactly the same all the time

hmmm, sounds like I should just get the spring conversion when I get the money. My bags are all new so They are not leaking, the compressor only turns on at start up and when getting off of the freeway. It just bothers me, I want it perfect! Oh well. Hey torquemonkey, just currious how far did you lower the front?

I went about an inch or so. There is a lip on the inner fender well that I used as a guide when I moved the the mount. The sensors are also completely compressed when I raise the front up and with the suspension dangling.

HAha! Dangly parts...

Should you in time be looking to sell your gently used 'bags, let me know.
