So i had Eibach lowering springs installed a year ago. I never measured the drop but they looked about equal to me on my awd. Today i noticed the passenger side rear was lower by about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch compared to the driver side rear. Fronts looked even. No other noticeable differences in ride and handling.
What is likely to have caused this?
Should i be concerned?
 
Where you in a really even surface such as a garage to mesure this with the car empty of anything? If so that is a big variance. Place your car in a good even spot and mesure from ground to fender on all corners and report back!
 
Did what you suggested and measured parked in the garage. Passenger is still lower but by about 1/4 inch, which isnt so bad. Thanks

I bet that OE springs have at least a quarter inch of variance. But I'm not going to seek out a totally even surface and then go around measuring to the top of each wheel well to find out. Hah! I try to not scrutinize my lovely ride that closely. This is sort of like mawwiage: "Go into mawwiage with your eyes wide open; and afterward with your eyes half closed. " :D If I can walk up to my car from any angle, and nothing snags my eye, then nothing imperfect is serious enough to worry about (leave the tape measure at home).
 
I wonder if it's higher on the driver's side to compensate for the fact that there's always a driver when the car's in motion?
