i wouldn't worry too much about the difference in height. all springs can't drop it level at all four corners. on my pro kit, in the front...my driver side sits a tad higher than the passenger side. and on my previous drop with progress springs...in the rear driver side i could fit two fingers in the gap, and in the passenger side..i could barely fit two fingers in the gap. yes they do settle at different rates. i'm sure only you can notice the difference in height because it's your car, other people won't really notice.

hrm i just read ur post again, and if it seems like the PERCHES are at different grooves, then ya...ur screwed..sorry. haha. You can't adjust the perches without takin the whole shock/spring assembly apart. i say you jus go back to that stupid shop and raise hell again....but i kno ur fed up with everything already, so maybe take it to another shop and have it looked at?

Why don't we pretend that cars are our hobbies and try to fix it on your own ? adjustable suspension is fairly easy. Did your setup come with wrenchs? im assuming it did cause there "adjustable" so take your wheel off get up under your wheel well and take that wrench and work some magic =)

Its not hard at all, just put some time into your car man, you will not regret it. Plus if you do the work yourself you will feel better. Plus you will know what is wrong if something is cause you put it on.

Good luck

only the rears are adjustable(perches). The instructions in the box told how to adjust them. When i purchased them, they came up in Cart as w/ adjustable perches.

ain't that much of a diff, it's not like ur car is tilting from that one coil, all that pressure on the springs when u had the perches upside down could have caused the spring to prematurely settle more on one side that the other, juss give it time and if it doesn't change in awhile then sumthing's wrong.

Your post must of been directed to me since you quoted me, if not sorry for replying to your post.
No my setup didn't come with wrenches. My suspension isn't "adjustable". I have put time into my car. And I did do my suspension myself so I feel great.

I'm not trying to be an ass.

BTW, I have Neuspeed Race springs, Bisteins shocks and front and rear ingalls camber kits.
