Default Coilover Issue

So I have maxed out my rear coilovers in the rear and when I went to measure it its not even. From the ground to the fender its pretty even, but it still looked like I tucked tire more than the other. So I measured the upper edge of the rim to the top of the fender (tire measurement) and its uneven. What is needed to be done?

I am running Megan Track Series coilovers.

did you get alignment? sounds like your camber setting is not right?

i am getting my alignment done on friday. also i dont think i had camber done to my car but when i bought it in to exchange rims one guy told me it looked like i had it done. i could have possibly have camber but not know it. also one of my tire is more flat than the other. dont know if that could cause a problem or not

did you measure it with your fingers or some other way?? lighting can make one side look more tucked than the other if you just look at it. if it's way flat, you should even it out. they always do your tire pressures before an alignment too

this car doesnt have perfect weight distribution! thats normal when u install coils or springs! U have to do minor adjustments.
