Default Rear suspension uneven?????

when measuring from the ground to the edge of the fender on the rear wheels with stock suspension the one side sits slightly higher (about 1/2") than the other. the front measurements come out even. Anyone ever experience this problem before? Air pressure in the tires is equal and the car was measured sitting in a garage on even pavement. when i installed B2 coilovers i had to adjust the collar on the one side to sit 1/2" lower than the other side so the measurements would come out even. any guesses on what would cause this?

Are you sure the ground you parked on was level?

I've seen this before many times....are you running an aftermarket exhaust? The lighter weight can cause it....

Mine does it too.

Pisses me off. It's the left side that sits lower. Maybe I need to go on a diet.

I had the same problem when i fitted coilovers, there was approx 0.5" difference with the drivers side being lower. I just screwed the coilover down on the passenger side to match. My last ITR was corner weighted and no two corners were the same height after it (there was only a small difference in each side) but the car drove/handled perfectly.
