Uneven height with Bilstein
The coilovers are too off to adjust and get even ride height on all 4 corners. And no, my car has not been in an accident. I'm the original owner and have run multiple coilovers with no problems.
If the front right is 3/4" higher than front left, and the rears are even, then you have built-in twist in the car. Best you can do is split the difference. If you start at baseline heights all around and have even(ish) corner weights, you could lower both fronts ~1/4", then lower both rights ~1/4" (sways disconnected of course) to arrive at roughly -1/4" LF, +1/4" RF, +0" LR, -1/4" RR ride heights relative to baseline. (If RR started out 1/4" high, then it's even now at this point).
Or you could do the opposite and raise rear and left side1/4". Or raise rear and lower rightside.
Then corner-weight, adjusting opposite corners equally in pairs to get close to even CSS, adjust end links for zero static preload and reconnect sways.

Update: Thanks to Blacktrax, we discovered that the front passenger side damper is bad. You can't compress it with your full body weight, whereas you can do that with the driver's side damper. It also has a little oil leakage. Go Blacktrax. Boo for Bilstein for poor quality control and poor customer service.
