Default Uneven ride height?

I just got my GF210's installed, put probably 200 miles on her after the install. The rear right is higher then the left rear on even pavement. It is probably a finger and a half higher...

Ideas? Or is it still trying to settle?

pictures would help. i would reinstall and check over everything. ride height should be even regardless of springs settling in or not

1. make sure the pavement is 100% even....most times, even though it might look it, it's not and that can cause the car to sit a bit 'funny'

2. springs don't always lower every car an even amount front to back or even side to side - before measuring drops, etc, best bet is to drive the car around a bit. It's not actually the springs that settle most times but the rubber mounts. A few days of driving might be enough, or it may take up to a week sometimes..every car is different

tire pressure is fine. Tiresr have plenty of even meat left.

My G coupe was sitting about 3/4" lower on the drivers side. I bought coilovers to correct it.

how do you guys measure your coilovers?

i set my front preloads the same and adjusted the length of them to be the same as well. Same with the rears; but it seems some corners are higher/lower than the others. About a difference of 1/4".

Should i just measure each corner individually? Or does it really matter?

Hope i make sense.
