Strano springs in just got my strano springs in and noticed i don't have the front adjusted correctly yet but the rear is not adjustable and was wondering if it is normal for the driverside to be quite a bit higher than the pass. side. i know you always adjust from the rear toward the front i don't have an adj. pan hard bar yet and will be ordering one soon. but could this be the problem? or is it normal? i'll try and get some pictures tomarow to show the difference
Check that the front springs are correctly positioned in their respective rubber isolators. If you have them rotated off where they are supposed to be, they may be off their stock ride height a bit. other than that, there is no real adjustment in the springs at all...

the fronts are the adj. ones you mean the rears correct? i was thinking the same thing that they might have moved before i got the shocks tightened up i will have to take a look when i get it back out. pics are gana be postponed as well because were getting pounded with more snow today 
He has QA1's.... so it's hit coil-over height that needs adjusted. But nothing should happened until you can drive around the block to settle the springs in place and recheck the height.

after i got a chance to pull the car back out i looked at it and it seems more level then it was when i just finished it. i didn't measure them yet because i want to get some miles on it before i do any adjusting. while i had it out i snapped some pics. sorry the car is filthy i can't wait for it to warm up and the roads to clean off here i'm sick of winter i want to drive my car. heres a few i took. the first is a camparison to what it used to look like.

The front is a little low. IIRC you have QA1's on the front, if you do, turn them up a bit. You ideally should be sitting around 26" ground to fender on the front if you're on a stock diameter tire.
Coming up a touch will do nothing but help, and if you had a shock with a fixed perch (what my springs were meant to be on @ stock perch height), it would be a bit higher in front.

Verdad Gallardo Glad you like.... but just do the height now. My springs don't really change any tangible amount or "settle" after you drive them a few miles in the first place.
