    You should be adjusting the coilovers by measuring from the ground to the fender. Keep in mind this has to be done on a flat, even surface like the garage floor. The coilovers will all be at different threads because of how weight is distributed on each corner.
    I had the same problem when I was trying to get the same height on all four corners and that’s what the alignment shop told me. Also look into corner balancing your car since you went with a track stance. Hope this helps!

    Car is looking bad ass! Those TE37 looks so nice on that car! I have a 2018 STi with BC Racing coil overs as well sitting on TE37. Yes my passenger side looks like it’s sitting higher than the driver side. I thought it was always my car or my suspension but now I know I’m not the only one. Haha.

    • @chris_borges

      So curious to know why our cars sit like that. 🤔

    • @Whitegsr98
      @Whitegsr98 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just read on a forum and supposedly it’s all like that. The way it’s built that everything is catered to the driver side like steering column and such. It bothers me but at least we are the only that noticed it haha. Most of the time when I’m taking a picture or recording my car I always do the driver side more than the passenger side.

    BMW’s are also higher on drivers side. Assuming when the driver is in the car seat, their weight will drop the driver’s side… squaring out the ride height.

    One side is lower most likely because of the gas tank location.
