to tell the truth I don't know what the problem was. I took the springs out to look at them and I didn't see anything wrong. So I decided to try to trouble shoot and moved the springs to the opposite side. I also noticed that the rear was over farther to the left than it had been. I went ahead and put the springs in and left the PHB alone so I could see if the height problem would be fixed or if it was a spring problem. The height seemed to be fixed and I haven't had a problem since so I went ahead and adjusted the PHB yesterday. When I got under the car I found that one of the jam nuts had come loose. So I adjusted it and put some lock tight on the nuts. Seems to be fine now but I'm still in the trouble shooting stage. Could be a weak spring or a frozen shock or even the rear not being centered. I'm still not sure what "fixed" the problem so far. I'll get some pictures to show how it looks now along with some measurements
I had the same problem. I purchased the rear ride height adjusters from ground control. With those installed it was sitting at 27.5 with my Eibach's. I cut off one coil and had to adjust up the passenger side a bit and now it's perfect. The rear is a tiny bit stiffer with the missing coil but the Eibach rears are a bit soft anyway in my opinion. I still have the isolators in so if I need to lower it more, I could remove them and use heater hose. I didn't want to do that first, kinda wanted that as a last resort...
I wanted to keep the isolators since I have a cd changer and those help dampen out bumps.

Well I know its not the added weight from the jack and the spare since I don't have either in the car but everything seems ok for now. I will feel better about saying its fixed after a month or so. I just need a few more miles on the car. I'm thinking of switching over to the ground control kit but it may be sometime down the road.
Mine is a 1" difference. driver side is 27.5 and pass is 26.5. ANyonw know why mine would be this far off? What could I do to fix it? I know the shocks and springs are stock. HELP PLEASE!!
