uneven after coilover install?
 
Hey guys,
I just installed some tein basic coilovers a few weeks ago and My driver's side rear and my passenger's side front are lower than the rest. I've adjusted the coilovers so they are close to even, but I had to almost double the amount of threads shown on the coilover. Is this a problem? It doesn't seem right. I've searched and the only thing I have found is that the driver's side usually sits a little lower than the passenger's side and that some people were uneven because their sway bar end links were positioned wrong. Mine end links are correct. Anyone got any other ideas? Think I should replace the pillow mounts?

I also tried to get an alignment and they said the front camber was off and they couldn't get it back to factory specs. I have about a finger gap with 19" wheels. I didn't think I would have to get a camber kit unless I slammed it?

Any advice or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks guys

adjust the coilovers to make the car even and call it a day. in the rear, the lower shock mount is a fork. a work bushings in rear lower control arm that is collapsing may make a diffrerence but no more then 0.5".

same goes for the front. the front shock houses the bushing but is new since it comes with the coilover kit.
