Default Lowered on Stock bolts help please!

I just lowered my 2002 Z06 on stock bolts and went pretty easily, only took about 2 hours to do by myself. So far I am very happy the only problem that I noticed was that the passanger front is about a 1/4" or less lower than the driver side front and I Followed the same procedure on each side. So I dont know where i went wrong. The only weird this is that my friend has a bmw and the passanger is a little lower than the driver side...so my question would be is this normal for one side to be slightly off?

Thanks

In the cars that we lowered, some had this problem as well. It's not really a big deal, just give the bolt a half to full turn to get the 1/4 inch back. I doubt that 1/4 will do anything harmful. Only thing I can think is it may make your car pull slightly or uneven tire wear, but that is the extreme.

It can be a few things as to why, such as wear on the rubber stop on the bottom of the lowering bolt to possibly something with the suspension.

Don't forget to get a alignment check either!
