Ride height changed while driving! Help!

Im lowered on bc racing coils and had them installed brand new for about a 100 miles or so. It was fine before i drove today. My left rear is significantly lowered than my right rear after driving on the highway. Is it because my left rear settled first or something was loose?

my left rear is sitting a little lower than my right rear on BC coils. I'm maxed out on them.

My driver-side rear is lower than passenger side on BC Coils as well. Could just be normal.

In either case, jack it up, take the wheel off and make sure the spring is still sitting the cup correctly and hasn't shifted.

^ Are you maxed out on the coilovers as well?

I don't see how anyone would notice it unless they were, since they'd simply compensate for the uneven height by going lower on one side.

I'm on 18s so I had to max it out, so I can't really do anything about it besides raise up the driver side, which I don't want to do. Luckily it's not too bad.

^^ Yes I'm maxed out as well. On 19s but still not quite low enough, wish there was more wiggle room

Brought the driver side up maybe 1/2-3/4" or so to compensate and it worked, but it made me mad... I was going the wrong direction!

Had the same thing happen to me cept I have Fortune coilovers. My passenger front actually raised itself (dunno how) but had to take the wheel off and readjust and remeasure the height but just make sure its locked before putting it back on.
