But I thought you said your shop adjusted them and verified they're all even?
I'm confused by how they're broken?

I'm also stuck. The things I can imagine being broken that also allow the height to be adjusted equally are either easily replaced without a whole swap (broken spring) or would mean you've got something much worse going on (broken mount, bent lower control arm, other physical damage that alters geometry.)

I'm not going to say that just because I can't imagine a scenario where a broken coilover can still be perfectly adjusted but lead to different ride height doesn't mean it can't exist... but...

I'm not sure this is a coilover problem. Unless it's a spring. Or it's actually failing to rebound whatsoever. Ok, so there's one...

So the adjusting collars are seized. The coilover needs to be removed from the car and the collars soaked in PB blaster(it could be done on the the car, but there isn't much room for leverage) With the Coilover in a vice, an experienced mechanic should be able to break the collars loose.

Wow several shops? Hope they didn't charge for attempting.

In any case is time...to...get...

Coilover!!!

Tein flex Z is pretty comfy and very adjustable too. I'm running street flex and what it's a quality ride

you should have a reputable shop that does alignment on the spot install and align it for you. Check other suspension component. Have them adjust the new Coilover the way you like it. They'll tell you what extremes you can go give or take. This way you won't have any trouble until they're worn out!!
