coilover problem???
I recently installed ground control coilovers with koni struts on my 97 Lude. I waited about a week, and had an alignment done. Whats weird, is that the colar sits at a much differant height on the right side than on the left, in order to get even . Also, my spring rates are 450r and 380f, yet its much easier to push the rear end of the car downward than the front. And when I adjust one side trying to level things out, the opposite side change's a bit. Any ideas on whats going on?

Not sure what you mean? the front springs are barrel springs, so if your asking if I mixed up the front and rear springs, then no.

they aren't supposed to be equal heights when you have the coilover perch at equal heights....there are different amounts of weight on each corner...and when you lower or raise one corner...you influence the weight put on the corner your moving, and the three other corners. (opposite diagonal corner gets influenced the most)
Thats why its important to get the car corner weighted with you in it....

Ok, that makes sence. I am still a bit curious as to why the rear end isnt stiffer, but my main question has been aswered. Thanks for the input.
