Default 1 side lower than the other?

I have had the Bilsteins & the LGM Hypercoils on the car for approx 3 months now.
Have noticed recently that the right rear is lower than the left??
What could this be? I have the Adj PHR as well but, the car is centered??.
Ideas? The car is driven daily & i looked underneath today & no coil bind or anything! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Matt.

Most of our cars are lower on the right than the left by about 1/4 to 1/2 inch whether stock or modified suspension. The PHB won't affect height. Did you measure after the install, was it equal then?

A common theory is that when you sit in the car ( left hand side ) the car evens out. FWIW.

Thanks guys!! So, nothing to worry about.
No, i did not measure after the install. I was still in awe of how good it looked.
Anyway, thanks alot for your input. I appreciate it.

Yep, my passenger side sits about 3/8" lower than the driver's side. I figured that that was the reason why the jack won't fit under the passenger side :think:

I've got the same problem. Had it before I lowered my car with the same springs as well.

I do have a question for you, though. Before I get my wheels I'm going to order an adjustable panhard bar. My question is, how do I measure to ensure the rear is center?

Honestly Chris, i could'nt tell you as i had LG install mine.
Try a search on Adj PHR. Hope this helps. FWIW the Adj phr is a must for lowered cars.
You may consider the lower control arms & relo brackets as well.
