if you can't un derstand why putting mismatched suspension on your car is a bad idea then you should sell it.

drive your car into a curb on the other side to even it out

You could always bend up the other side .5 inches. This will balance it out

If the frame is ONLY off in the vertical direction and by 0.5", you are right that you could offset that 0.5" with coilovers. Unfortunately, there are a lot of underlying issues with frame damage that would not be resolved with that solution.

I don't know all of them, but here's one of the many possible issues: if the frame is off due to an accident (as is likely), it may ALSO be off in the direction of the width of the car, and it may also be twisted. It all depends. This would affect things like how your car balances its weight on these coilovers and therefore change the handling in an unbalanced manner, so at best, the car would probably not handle right and something would feel "off." The effects of the bends, twists, and etc. are too complex and unique for us to really to tell you from a remote computer like this EXACTLY what would happen if you just use coilovers, because we quite simply don't know. But it's easy to see a lot of different types of problems.

That's why we're all saying to fix it correctly--bend the frame back.
