Ride height difference in one corner with coilovers

Hey guys,

I had the Ohlins Road & Track coilovers installed last week and noticed that the ride height was different on the front passenger corner, about 1/4" higher. I took the wheels off and measured the front coilovers, both had the same spring preload and ride height settings. Is this normal? Or should the front left and front right have the same ride height if the coilovers are set the same?

Thanks!

Ride height variance is normal since you will have weight variance at each corner. Either have it corner balanced (after which you'll still have some ride height variance, although less noticeable). Or you can make the car sit level by adjusting the ride height portion of coilover.

I would, personally, get it corner balanced. You spent good money on the Ohlins, get the most performance out of them as possible..
