Coilovers uneven?
I installed some Aldan coilovers in the rear over the weekend. When I got everything buttoned up, put a half inch preload on them, and measured both to confirm I had them set the same, I put the car on the ground, and the passenger side was probably a bit over .25" or so lower than the driver. I had to adjust the one side up a fair bit to get it to match, even after a bit of spirited driving to get things to settle in. Is this to be expected, or is there something I'm missing that I should look at?

Yes, on my Firebird I installed 1le springs that are supposed to be in spec, and they were off by a little amount..
Also make sure they are fully settled with driving so you are getting a good reading.

Bit of a mixed bag. Bigger bumps are now pretty rough. I feel like it follows smaller bumps better without wanting to jump all over the place though. With the quarantine, I haven't really had much reason to go out driving, so I don't have much time on them. Rear end grip feels a lot more confident when I'm accelerating hard, but I've also fixed the rear tie rod ends when I was in there, which was making the rear end real loosey-goosey.
