Lowering question, why is one side higher?
Ok, I am at a loss to explain this one. I recently lowered my car using just the stock bolts. I moved all four as far as I could, they should all be even. The passenger side of the car sits MUCH lower (.5" or so, I'll have to measure but you can definately tell) than the drivers side. Has anyone else had this problem? If you needs pics/measurements let me know. I would reall like to flatten the car out.

Unless you moved each side an even amount of turns - that could explain the difference. The bolts are used at the factory to adjust for ride height and to balance the suspension, so they aren't necessarily turned the same amount of turns from "full" to do so. Bet if you measured it "sitting in" the car, that 1/2" would just about even out from your weight...
That and the service manual suggests raising the car, and then bouncing the suspension to settle things in. Most folks around here drive around for a bit to do this.

I've driven it for about two weeks, don't think it will settle any more 
. Both sides are even, you are right though, my heavy **** just might even the car out
