Car sits lower on passenger side.
This is so weird to me, I've had this car for quite some time now and I've been through a few rims now and every time I go lower this issue becomes more apparent, at first I didn't notice it until I went to a bigger rim size and dropped the car lower I then noticed that it was sitting lower on the driver side but not horrible from what I could see, but still wanted to fix it, after about a year I sold my wheels and got a slightly bigger size and went for coils and this is when it became very apparent I had a issue. the car sits from top of the rim to bottom of the q-panel on the driver side at 6.3" and 7.4" on the passenger and from the bottom of the rear bumper to the ground is about 5" driver and 6.3" passenger. even though the coils have the exact same preset and height. The bushings also look great with nothing showing that they would cause this issue along with all the suspension components looking great as well.
One thing that really makes me confused is that the car sits the same hight on jacks but as soon as it's on the ground its uneven, I've swapped both coils to the other side and measured everything but it just never sits right Even though it's supposed to be the measurements.
At this point I'm just going to set the preset higher and have the car set to different heights for the coils on both sides until it's even and figure it out later. But for right now I would love to hear so ideas or maybe if anyone has some forums they wanna share that goes along with what I'm describing it would help a load.

I have the same problem. When I measured my stock ride height prior to putting my coilovers on none of them were the same height. Whether the right or wrong way to fix it here's what I did. I looked up on here what the stock ride height should be. I think one corner of my car may have been lower than stock and all the others were stock or higher. I picked a number for the front and rear that was 1" lower than stock( I only wanted a 1" drop) and adjusted my coilovers to achieve that. As a result some are further out than others. I am open to hear a better way to fix it if there is one.
