One side higher than the other

On my fd my left side is higher than the other. I have cusco coilover and they are set at the same height. I'm talking about 1 in. Does anybody have this ploblem and is it better to keep it like this or dropping the right side matching the body.

Thanks

Yeah I've got the same problem too and its on the left hand side as well. I'm guessing your's is a JDM?

Anyone know what causes this difference? The lower control arm?

Unless you want to install coilovers, the only real thing to do is install new spring perches. The rubber eventually sags due to the spring pushing on them. They're about $75 per corner.

i have the same problem as well...
but mine aren't that huge difference... not 1 inch.. mine is around 15 mm...
from a distance can notice sometimes...

so... the fix is adjust accordingly using coilover ? how to adjust the height without touching the spring height ? i guess the only thing is to adjust the spring seat right for coilovers.

I have the same problem. My passenger side is a full 1 inch higher than the driver. I thought it was because of all the times i drive since i hardly carry anyone with me.

Im going with coilovers over winter so i hope that will cure it.
