350Z H-Tech, Rear Right-Side Slightly Higher

I just installed 350Z H-Tech like 2 days ago. The rear right-side (gas filler side) seem not have lower as much as the left side, probably less than 0.25in. higher. Any thoughts?

Visually it looks even to the eye all around. Just when u try to measure it, you see the difference.

its your decision if it needs to be fixed or not, mine's been like that since I got it in stock form, but noone's ever commented on it because its less than a 1/4"

Yea, because it's less than 1/4" not really worth the effort to redo the springs. But I'm just curious why, maybe because I got only a quarter tank of gas?

the weight distribution from left to right is not exactly 50/50, which leads to slightly uneven stance

Okay, just filled up a full tank. This time I'm measuring with a measuring tape. The right side is 27.5in from the ground, the left side is 27in. I'm not going further with this, I'm just gonna go with what redlude97 said about weight distribution. From my research, many others experience this too.

In the rear, is there like 0.5in difference left to right? I measured mine from the ground to center of fender.

I've had my 350z H-Techs on for about 2 months now, my driver side rear has a bit over a 1 finger gap, my passenger side rear has a 2 finger gap. I hardly ever have a passenger in my car though and I weight about 200lb so I chalk it up to that.

The front may be slightly uneven as well but it's hardly noticeable so I've never really checked.

it depends some days my drop feels like the left side is higher, about pinky finger size higher.

then some days it looks about even.

in the end drop looks good, now that the springs have fully settled. i have about to finger gap ( with the lines on our knuckles going N and S)

Get an alignment done? Lower side probably has more camber than the other...
