The car isn't even to begin with. And for performance reasons, when you corner balance the car, the heights won't be the same anyways. Other than that, the only way I can think to deal with it is to use some sort of coilover collars maybe? I don't like the idea of that thought.

Are you sure you have the front springs in the front and rears and rear not mixed up side to side?

 

[Tre3zy]

yea i though about it not being even hahaha.... ok thnx.... its not really that noticeable unless i point it out.... maybe if i take out the abs motor on the driver side maybe that will even it out....

 

My car is like this. I don't know what is the cause. I noticed this years ago & it seems to be how the car is. Coilovers will solve that problem though.

Same here the I have 1/2 in difference in height on the passenger side pissed me off at first now I am used to it.

The difference is the car's weight isn't even. How can you expect 2 springs of the same length and compression to arrive at the same height?

If you measured the car stock, you probably would have found one side higher by 1/2" than the other.

It's almost like the setup was designed for the driver to be on the right hand side.

ok just to let you guys know that the left rear and right rear is about even but the the front isnt....

My car is still on stock springs and there is a difference in fender to tire gap on the front. The only reason I've noticed it is because I stare at the car all the time. No one else has ever mentioned it.

If you are just eyeballing fender gap then that's the problem. Your fenders could be off. You need to measure from a flat even ground/ surface to a common point on the unibody to get exact ride heights on both sides.
