Went and got my BavAuto Sport Springs and Bilstien Sport struts installed today. When trying to align my car after strut installation my shop found that my frame appeared to be bent...rather severely. Nine degrees! Well that's not quite the problem I'm asking about but the bent frame MAY be the culprit. When parked on a flat surface and with a tape measure I found that my front, driver's side corner sags about an inch lower than the passenger's side. I noticed this before the installation of the new suspension, I attributed it to my old suspension being worn. But after picking up my car today I noticed it was still sagging, and now with the lower suspension I get fender rub from the front-driver's tire on right hand turns. Any suggestions as the the problem? TIA!
