so maybe since I didn't preload the suspension the extra weight on the driver's side from me sitting in it helped settle the suspension more? I actually preloaded the front passenger side when I changed my lower control arm. maybe that's why only my passenger rear looks like it's so much higher.

My passenger side was lower, I raised it. I did however eat the living hell out of my passenger side fender with my tire. . . Now It's all homo'd out. So I plan on picking up CF fenders.

meh

What you should really do with coil overs is get out the scales and check the corner weighting to ensure the weight distribution is even. This way the car will turn equally well to the right and left. Adjusting the ride height on each corner affects the weight distribution to each wheel.

Just do a search on the web for "corner weighting"

How some guy corner weighted his S2000

This all assumes you are changing yours suspension for handling and not just looks!
