Driver rear lower after settling, heaviest corner?
 
Hey fellas, I'm running ST coilovers and after a couple weeks of driving, the fronts seems to settle pretty evenly between the driver and passenger side, within 1/4" of each other.

The rear is the different story, the driver-side rear is a full 1" lower than the passenger side with the perches on the coilovers set exactly the same, whenever I lift up the car from the rear diff it's always tilted to the left which leads me to believe the driver-side rear is much heavier hence the height difference?

Anybody notice this with any other suspension? In order for me to even it out, I have to raise the driverside rear perch about 1" higher than the passenger side, which definitely would affect the spring preload am I right?

Has the car been corner balanced? Do you have adjustable endlinks?

I would highly recommend both.

Not corner balanced, just regular alignment. No adjustable endlinks either.

You are over thinking it, and it isn't the first time.

What does the rear diff have to do with anything? It doesn't.

1 inch on the suspension does not equal 1 inch at the wheel.

You were fine a month ago.

Stop over thinking it.

Pull the suspension, measure, compare, reinstall. And swap the corners.
