i slam the driver coilover and the passenger coilover is not even slam n its lower then the driver side. wen i first got the coilover i slam both side and it was even until i drive it on the freeway n i notice when i hit a bump it would scrap inside of fender.and if i turn it all the way it would make like a metal to metal scraping sound.then i rise it up a bit now the driver side doesn't go any lower.i was thinking about switching the driver coilover to the passenger side to see any difference.if not then i think something wrong with my car not the coilover.any suggestion. thanks

Were both wheels up in the air when you adjust the height?

Both wheels must be in the air when you adjust the height. Get a tape measure and measure from top perch to lower bracket or something like that.

What kind of coilovers do you have? Any sign of oil leak?
