Default ~CAR'S CROOKED?????

i bought a teg a few weeks ago with skunk2 pro coilovers (full bodied) and noticed that it sat kind of crooked (rear right was lower than rest). i dropped it some more and made sure both sides had the same amount of thread spun through, and they did. the car still sat crooked, so i figured maybe a shock blew or something. so today i went and swaped out my koni/gc set up with the skunk2s and the car is still sitting crooked? anybody know what it can be?

I have a crooked problem also, but for some reason, my rear hatch locks and goes down. But the gapping is differenton each side. i have like 2cm gap on left and a 2mm gap on right side. Also inside on the rear seats. If they are both pushed and locked back. The right seat is back further like 2 inches. IDK what the prblem is. pisses me off cause things have to be perfect for me.

sorry, it is driver side rear. i didnt expect this to happen to so many ppl since it was never like this on my eg. and some of you guys are saying it's because the driver side is heavier? how come the front corners are the same height? and is it okay to raise just that one side (driver side rear)? (car turns a little to the left when im driving)

You can raise the one side up a little, it won't make _much_ difference in the way the car drives. TO get it to be functionally optimal, you'd need to have it aligned and corner-weighted. That might not make it _look_ straight, but it will be correctly balanced.
