Default Drivers side sits lower???

Hey guys just wondering if anybody has dealt with this I lowered my c5z on the stock bolts in the front as low as they can go and the passenger side sits noticeably higher I can get two fingers on passenger side and barely one finger on drivers side so quit a big difference so checking to see is this is at all normal???

I did order zip bolts today to see if I can go lower and get both sides to sit the same thanks for any comments or the look

Not normal.

Did you make sure your front bushings weren't smashed? I've seen those front bolt bushings in pretty bad shape before..

Thanks for the reply
I just called my shop that did it yesterday along with the oil change and he's had several vettes along with his son and actually his son had one that did the same thing and has seen it before I guess he said more than likely the fender is sitting a little different than the drivers side so I'm not gonna sweat it and the lowering bolts will be here next Thursday so it will be were I want it either way I guess just a little concerned "Typical Vette Worries"

My stock Z on stock height is also a little off on one side, I chalked it up to American engineering

when I lowered my last FRC one side was always lower on one side then the other, even though the bolts were both set to the same lowering specs

Just adjust the bolts until you get it right , you might have to lower one more then the other etc...
