well, before when i just had lowering springs my driver side rear always sat about a half to 3/4 of an inch lower then the passenger side, i get adjustable coilovers, max them out both in the rear, and what do you know, same thing, any ideas, i searched google but couldnt find anything on the subject.

I don't remember which side, but one of my rears was a little off too. I was really perturbed for a while. Then I just gave up.

I had the same problem myself as detailed in another post by yet another member with the same problem. My solution was also coilovers.

Just keep in mind that when balancing the height you are working with opposing corners. What you do to one corner (right rear) affects the opposing corner (left front). Think of the suspension as a wobbly table. If one leg is just a hair shorter, the table will rock back and forth from the short leg to the leg on the opposite side. At least that's the way it was explained to me by someone much smarter than I will ever be. It added several hours to the balancing/leveling/ride height adjustment but it was well worth the extra work.
