Default suggestions on height difference??!!

When i bought the car it already had Koni Yellows and coilovers installed already. However the rear passenger side was higher than the rear drivers side. So i turned the bottom perch of the rear passenger side down a little and checked it, still too high. So i did this a few times and finally got them at the same height but the rear passenger perch is almost all the way to the bottom of the coilover while the driver's side is set about midway. What should i be looking for on this problem? I looked at it closely but i dont have enough experience to see what the problem is and what is causing the height difference? thanks

if youre adjusting the perches, its not necessarily going to be equal front and back. and it depends on the length of the springs itself. so i wouldnt consider it an issue. thats why theyre adjustable.

true, i'm gonna actually measure the height of the springs themselves and see if there is a difference there

great, tell me the numbers printed on the springs, that will tell you the lenght of the spring, if you didnt know how to check already.
