Need help, GT86 left and right height difference
 
Hi all, I am newbie here and this is my first post in this forum :D

I just got my GT86 3 days ago, very happy with it. But I noticed small problem with the height difference from ground to top of wheel wells between left and right side. When I measure it, it appears that the front left side of the car (passanger) is 3-3,5mm higher than the front right side of the car (driver side). Anyone experience the same problem? Is this normal? What's the cause of this? Can I repair or fix this 3,5mm height difference between left and right side? Will the trd coilover fix this issue? Please help :bow: Thank you in advance :)

Oh yeah, I park my car on flat surface/ground during the height measurement

This may sound silly, but have you checked the tire pressure?

/\this!

Actually, it's pretty normal for stock cars to be off a little bit. Go ahead and measure some other random cars at a lot (make sure to measure hub to fender) and you'll see that all the cars aren't exact.

Most people only notice this when they are swapping suspensions out and they want to get a differential measurement.

Right, I forgot to check the tyre pressure. Will check it soon.
By changing coilovers, can I adjust the same height on all 4 corners? Or it will still uneven at one or more corner? Think about getting TRD coilovers, so want to know if those coilovers can fix this uneven ride height ...

Thanks for replying :)

The coilovers should be able to fix the issue. Whoever is aligning the car, should be able to adjust it accordingly.

Tire pressure -OR-(most likely) to compensate for a full tank of gas, so check pressure and fill her up!

Thank's guys. Fuel tank is at full position, next check point is tyre pressure, need to borrow the tool from my friend. 3mm should be easy to fix by using coilovers, I may choose TRD coilovers. Anyone fit this TRD coilovers before?
