Default Uneven drop for my PSS

I just recently installed my Pss and for some reason my front passenger side is higher than driver side by 10mm. I did preload the suspension 2x and all the measurement on the thread of the coilover are the same height. My question is, if i adjust the coilover my 10mm on one side only, will that give me some problem considering they will be even once i do the adjustment on one side by 10mm? Let me know...thanks in advance guys...feel free to give me some suggestions or questions, maybe i might have missed something.

uneven frame maybe....?When i had my H&R's put in,it was slightly higher on the front passenger side also.

I had a friend look at it for me,he measured the center cap of the wheel to the frame and said they were all even.so the left side does sit a little higher right now.
If you find the problem let me know so i can adjust mine aswell.

Peace
David

You have coilovers, adjust them.

yes i do have a coilover. Adjustment is not an issue, my concern was tht if i adjust them, will that affect the quality of the ride or somehing because the spring moved up a little bit. Its probably 10mm the most to even them out. More feedback pls...In fact, i did adjust them but i just dont feel comfortable that its right because the measurement on the threaded is not even but the ride height is even. let me know guys

If they are seated properly and the ride height is even you are fine. The threads are quite often going to be off by at least a little bit. My coilovers were never even when I went by threads, fine tuning was always necessary. For the ultimate in handling, get your car corner-balanced.

The most it was off by 10mm which is consider to be 1cm...i really dont think it was that big but il keep an eye on them because my pss is fairly new. Its not even a week old. Hopefully it will settle a little bit after few months but i guess for now i have to do an adjustment just to keep them even.

My car and many others were uneven from the factory.. I just adjusted my coilovers. Don't worry about it.

so i guess i shouldnt worry bout the threaded adjustment as long as they are flat even from outside. Or should i put the threaded together with the same height and not worry bout the exterior height. which one do u think will make more sense? thanks again

Make your ride height even, the threads are very rarely perfectly even.
