Uneven drop for my PSS
Yep, had the same problem with mine and after a two-week period which i gave the coilovers to settle, i adjusted my shocks using the spanner wrench to even out the ride height...btw I measure my ride height from the ground to the bottom of the frame behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels. I think this is better than measuring from the center of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch. Someone correct me if i'm wrong!

Find a part of the side frame that runs straight and even from front to back...this is what I would do my measurements from (i.e. level ground to the frame rail at each corner.
my car is the same way, looks like the driver side is lower than the passanger side. i finger gapped it, the passanger side is high by a little less than an inch. friggin weird, i am about to dro my car on espilers, hope that doesnt show up. if it does i'll save up for new shocks

haha yea, its just the fact that it should be even but its not. weird
sorry for bringing back the dead, but I am having similiar problems.
I have searched and many people have that problem where the passager side is higher than the driver's side. what I sespect is that because we are sitting in the driver side, which added weight for the settling makes the driver's side lower. I dont' know.
but here is another thing, before I installed my PSS9, I hit both my passager's side wheels to the dividers (the sloped dividers near the fast lane) on the freeway, (i fell asleep). and the wheels went up that sloped divider and my car flew up a feet or two into the air. if its not sloped 80 degrees like the one I hit, it will scrap my whole side, but I only crubed the wheels. Just wondering if that have to do with the uneven height. and whats the worst that can happen to my car suspension wise hitting the divider like that. People told me that my arms might be bend. I am afraid.
I just got my pSS9 installed 2 days ago. Its very nice, firm, and not stiff. is there any break in procedures for the coilovers, such as setting it to full stiff first?
