car sitting high opposite adjusted coilover.

So as the title notes i have qa1 coilovers, global west upper and lower control arms and hotchkis swaybar and tierods.. I was adjusting the spring height because the car was sitting suuper low. After adjusting my drivers side spring about halfway up it is sitting at a reasonable level... but the side that I didnt adjust up is sitting higher. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

As you adjusted the L side up, it took weight off from the RF and it also came up. Less weight = less spring compression. Wondering if the RF has less static weight than the LF?

+1, make sure that nothing is bound up in the suspension, as well. Try unhooking the swaybar end links, re-adjusting the coilovers, and then tighten the end links down while the car is on the ground.

Like what is being said above, the corner weights play a factor, but normally not enough to have one side adjusted that much farther up. Alot of the time, you'll see the coilovers with different amounts of preload on them, if the car's frame isn't straight.

Just a couple of things to check out!

As noted, the sway bar should be disconnected when making ride height adjustments, then the bar reattached in such a way that it does not preload the suspension to one side or the other.
