Default TEIN CS users unite!

Hello every one.. just installed a set of TEIN CSv2 on my vehicle.. I love it! the ride is very, very close to stock on the softest setting with out the "bounce" and the hard setting stiffens up the ride nicely.. However, I seem to have run into a problem with the ride hight adjustment.. when I measure both sides (spring seats to bottom bolt) there dead on identical, yet when I lower the car back onto it's wheels the drivers side is lower.. does any one know what I might be doing wrong? I followed the instructions to the letter and adjusted the spring seats to 10.4 inches in the front. and I'm still off by about a third of an inch.. could the mounting brackets be throwing of the proper height?..is there anything else that could be causing this problem?

thanks in advance for any feedback guys..

That's normal. The weight distribution for the car is not perfectly even all around. Thats why most people (who are more serious about tracking their cars) get their cars corner balanced. That's the beauty of coilovers. But since you're not going to be tracking your car or anything of that nature, just raise up the driver side until it matches the rest of the car.
