Please rephrase the question. "One side is maxed out and the car is still low" doesn't really say anything.

well it has some no brand coil overs and i was trying to lift the car so its not so low. then i jacked up the car and one side is max where i cant go any higher and the other side of the car is like about half way of the coil over.

The answer is, "throw away the junk on there now and buy decent (or better) parts to replace them with".

To get even ride height with adjustable coilovers, your spring perches WILL be at different heights all around. If you set the collars the same all around, the car WILL sit uneven on all corners.
