suspension adjustment

Sup guys, bought a 06 IX about a month ago and I've been going thru the while car fixing issues and came across a problem.
Installed are fortune 500 coils with xd9 18x10 wheels and everything was way oit of adjustment. So I took everything off and reinstalled and made both dr and ps side even but No matter What I do Dr side is about 1/2 inch lower, threads are even bothsides and camber bolts and eveeverything. Any ideas?

Could be a blown strut or weak gas charge in one.
Have you checked all the eccentrics on the rear and made sure they are properly installed? No worn bushings or bad ball joints ? all the strut bolts are OEM up front and camber ones both pointing in or out ?

Everything looks good, tight nothing seems worn out. do the camber bolts go on the top or bottom hole? They're on top now facing towards motor. Maybe That's my problem?

that wouldn't change height enough to make a difference. changing camber is a hairline difference in height with those bolts if the tophats are the same on each side

Did you measure your coilovers at the shock body? Are you completely sure that they are at the same height? Did you change the height? Camber bolts do not change the height of the vehicle but the camber will be off if they are in different positions. They way you have described means that your camber is set to -2 degrees in the front.

Most cars are not exactly even side to side when adjusted the exact amount of threads. The weight is not perfectly distributed.
