Hello,I'm having a strange problem here.My car is a 1990 240sx.I replaced the struts and springs towards the middle to end of summer.Before I swapped the suspension out it would sag a little on the drivers side front.I was also running stock steelies on it.Then I swapped my wheels for 91 Se wheels.after doing that It was sitting level for a couple of months,Now The problem is that its sagging in the drivers side rear?I could fit about three fingers all around in between the wheel well, but when I get to that rear drivers side,I can barely get two in it?Can anybody help,its real annoying!Thanks...

how much of a drop do the springs provide. What i've about gr-2's are that they don't allow for much of a drop before they wear premamturely like stock struts do.

maybe your rear strut is blown from having too much of a drop.

i think they usually leak. you could push down on the other side of the car and see how it compresses and rebounds , then press down on the low side and compare how the two act.

Thats my only guess. You should ask the nissan online mechanic if there isn't a difference.
