Coilovers?
If anyone can help me in regards to my suspension. I preloaded the spring for all four corners, now what I'm doing is just adjusting the height.
My question is....
Front part of the car is both on jack stands. I adjusted the left side to a specific height that I wanted. From that, I measure it and adjusted the right one. Put the tires back on and drove it just a little and noticed that the right one is higher than the left. I adjusted the right side numerously than the left. Why is that? Why did the right front corner needed more adjustment just to match the left side?
Does it really matter how much adjustment it needs, just as long as they are leveled right?

Maybe when you were driving you "felt" as if they were uneven but really weren't?!?!?!?!? To me, I would put the car back on all it's fours and measure from ground to the middle of the fender. If that holds consistent, then you know it's fine regardless of if you "feel" like it's uneven.

It's not much as feeling an even but more like looking uneven. Now it's adjusted the same height, looks and feeling wise, but still my question still stands. Is it ok that I adjusted the right side more than the left just to get them level correctly?

I have an appointment for the 7th on april to get my car aligned and corner balanced. Basically I measured it fron the top perch to the lower perch but the right side was not as low as the left side. That's why I had to adjust the right side more to match the left front side.

I had a friend install some H&R ajustables on my car and my car also was higher on the front left side.took it to an alignment shop and the guy said it could be the body might be off a little cause he measured all for corners and everything seemed fine.
