every car responds to lowering differnetly - whether its tein springs, eibach springs, or some other brand, even coilovers. Its is not uncommon on a Z, or most other platforms for that matter, to have a slight difference in ride height from front to back, or even side to side. On my own car, for example, I had to alter my coilover height on the passenger side as well, to even it out with the driver side (rear).

either that, or you'll just have to learn to live with it...they may never settle to the same height, that's one of the potential drawbacks of springs vs adjustable coilovers

that's hte same on my g35. one side (can't remember which) is lower than the other by like 1/8" or so.

they settled nicely. actually a little more in the front so i'm going to have to cut the spring mounts (cups) in the rear to balance. mine have been on for a year and didn't balance side to side.

i completely forgot about it until this thread. you could get some rubber spring mounts and kind of shim the springs on the low side. 1/8" rubber bushing wouldn't hurt a spring with that in there. i just live with it being not equal.

if you want to completely eliminate the possibility of the problem, then you need coilovers, so you can set the exact height you want, wheel by wheel. You run the exact same risk no matte what set of springs you run. I personally think it's just an issue some cars have, not that some springs have. Your car, like my car, seems to be one of those that has the issue
