problem with wonky ride height

[bealehere]

Trying to set up my ride height before infer it aligned.


The front is fine, however at the rear is a bit funny.

One side is 15mm lower that the other side even though the height adjustable collars are the same height. I've set up quite a few coilovers before and never really came across this.

Question is, can I simply adjust so its the same height (measuring from the bottom of the rim to arch) Or is there something wrong elsewhere?

Any help would be great.

It might sound daft, but are you parked on level ground?

Yep level ground.

differing weight from side to side, measure from a fixed point to the floor, adjust each side accordingly

Do not set coilovers up based upon how many threads you have wound it up, that is not the way to level a car or set its heights.
if you really want the car level, you need to measure it to and from a fixed point that doesn't move.
just having them at the same threaded height on the body of the strut doesn't factor in the cars different weight positions, so if that's how you have set up many coilovers previously.... Then I'm sorry to say that your method isn't ideal, and it could have been improved on ten fold.

I always set the drivers side 10-15mm higher than the passenger side, it's fairly level then. But I have my vehicles corner weighted, so they never sit level anyway.

I've had people tell me the race car sits funny.

​It's been corner weighted, you dullard!!
