Default car sits uneven

didnt know if i should put this in here or in suspension

ive got afcos up front both of them are set ecactly the same...brand new...both are compressed 6 turns from the bottom

rear springs are stock without isolaters...i have lowering springs with the same problems back end sits about an inch differant....whats causing this

this is my car fender height at each corner in order

LF 25.75 RF 26.75
LR 27.25 RR 29

car has no bumper supports
no front swaybar
rear wolfe bar set loose
comp drag shocks out back
afco coil overs out front

is it ok to adjust the afcos enequally? and the rear springs cut them to make them sit evenly? or is ther something im missing about this?

its a weight issue it sounds like. one side of the car wont weight same as other. have you had some one check the height with you in the car? or use sand bags.

might have a sagging lr spring. when you sit in your car (depending on weight) drivers side will sit 1/2" lower (again, based on weight) so you're looking at(based on original 25.75") 25.25" on LF and still 26.75 RF so i'd say lower RF 1.25" and swap springs in rear around and see if that will solve your prob.

is it ok to set the front coilovers at non symmetrical settings?

i can try with the rear springs but it did it with my lowering ones also...and i checked them before installing to make sure they were the same height
