update... It's actually 1/2 inch uneven. And it's either the driver side that's 1/2 inch higher, or the passenger side that's 1/2 lower.

Tbh I don't think 1/2 inch is enough to worry about. Are your tire pressures equal?

Ya I feel a lot better than the 1" that I mentioned yesterday lol. But still, I am a picky person hah. You are right, I need to check my tire pressure. but most likely they are equal.

Does anyone know what could be the cause? I would like to get an idea before I bring the car to the dealer or shop. Thanks!
Hahah well seems like im on the same boat o always noticed my pasange height lower but i though it was a blown shock so installed kw v2 and its the same thing passanger is lower and all threats were counted and measured the same

Question does anyone ever alter the driver height to passanger height to be equal meaning

Example lets say driver side 5 threaths up and passanger 10 to balance it? And have same drop?

Mines uneven too. It's right hand drive as im in UK and my passenger side sits 1/2 inch higher front and back.

Also read that it's the design of the cars. Coilovers are set to same height allround and installed properly. Either way I'm not worried.

Yea only reason why im worried is because im pretty slamed so my passanger side barely rubs on some pot holes but only on the passanger side so i almos wish it was even to not have to rub at all

Raise the low passenger side then? I have that choice, raise one side to to level out, but I prefer the slammed look so don't want to raise the slammed side. lol.

Been trying to think of ways to lower the high side to match instead. No luck so far.

If your happy with the ride height when it's level then I'd say go for it. Be surprised if you noticed any difference in handling.
