~HELP~ Uneven Ride Height

what's going on? i THINK my front springs are even, but definately not my rears. i'll take pictures when i can. can anyone help me on this? how is the height different if the front springs are the same size and the rears are the same size?

i peaked behind the back two wheels. my right side is more compressed than my left. funny thing is, i have more stuff on the left side too. (my clothes, bowling ball). help asap! thanks in advance

Aftermarket or stock, its pretty common for alot of springs to drop the car slightly differently from side to side, because a car is not perfectly symetrical

Most of the time this comes from being parked on un-even surfaces.

As for Redriderr's car being 4 years old and 71k might be enough to show some wear.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention that i just put some G s-techs last saturday. people are saying the springs need to settle still.

today, i told one of my sisters to sit behind me to keep the weight on one side. i'm not sure if that worked or not, to me (it might just be in my head) it somewhat evened out. is there a sure way that i can make it even or close to being even.

as redlude said, it's going to be hard to achieve an even drop all around..

Well, for myself, my G's stance was a bit uneven from the first day, prior to any modding. I wonder how many people actually measured their centerline fender heights when their car was new and untouched?

My garage is relatively flat for all intent and purposes. These were the measurements, which I took some 2 years ago. My G is a '05 6MT, which came with the sports tuned suspension.

Front driver side: 27"
Front passenger side: 27-1/4"
Rear driver side: 27-15/16"
Rear passenger side: 27-11/16"

These measurements were taken on a flat garage surface and were measure from the ground, passing through the center of the wheels, to the bottom edge of the fender.
