Default Tein Cst

i just installed my Tein CST yesterday and i encounter some questions and problems i would say. If i max out the drop on the front it came down uneven. The driver side drop way lower than the right side. Is it because of the weight ratio of the engine like mabye the driver side more heavy? Or something wrong with my suspension?

This happens to me too. Not sure how to make it even. Seems very hard since one side is more heavier than the other.

for some reason, driver side goes lower than the passenger side
so if you go lowest on the passenger side, you might have to stop right before you hit the lowest on the driver side you even it out

please correct me if I'm wrong tho..

The fix is obvious, turn the driver side up about 2 full turns. That is what I did when I had my teins. It rode great, handled great, and looked great.
