Default Leaning car???

I have a 2000 TA and I did the heater hose mod on the rear springs. I measured before and after ang got about a 1/4" drop but my question is their is a 1/2" difference between the driver and passenger side height of the car with the driver side sitting higher. Is that common with our cars? Its not noticable with the naked eye until you start measuring it now it bugs the crap out of me LOL

Mine was an inch higher on the driver's side, so i just did the heater hose mod on that side. Now the driver's side is only 1/2 an inch higher. i think its not uncommon

That seems very weird to me. Now I think I have another problem though. I went racing this weekend after the heater hose mod and it is banging the bump stops when I launch the car and I'm not sure if I should just take them off or put the isolators back on the springs
