Default weird coil over height

Yester day when i was doing my brakes in the rear i noticed that the rear springs were raised to differnt heights yet the ride hight in the back was the same. They were on the car when i bought it they are ground control coil overs with tokiko 5 way shocks on a 89 crx si. When i bought the car the front was slamed all the way but the back was fine so i just raised the front equally from the spring perch to the bottom of the coil over and they were at equal heights when i set it back down, so this i kinda weired to see it like that in the rear.

normal. the problem is your chassis, it leans, same with every car after years of use with moslty 1 driver at a time. so each side needs to be raised a different height to get all sides matching on the outside.

i would expect the perch positions to not be equal.

pretty much every car is shitty looking then. they all do it. even unmodified stock cars. you just dont notice it as much because the gap is so big. when you lower it, the difference between 1" and 2" of wheel gap is much more noticable than 3" and 4".
