Front Low One Side
08 C6/Z51 my left side front is sitting about 1" lower than right. Found that the left side spring cushion was missing, replaced that, hight stayed the same. Also left rear sitting high as wellI was careful to match the turns on the adjuster bolts to same in front, both sides. Any ideas??

When you say you replaced the cushion, do you mean you replaced the ride height adjustment bolt because the cushion is part of it. If you didn't replace the ride height adjustment bolt, I am not sure what you replaced. Just turn the bolt until the ride height is correct

Have you checked to see if your radiator support is intact? That can cause sagging if the weld is broken.
What I found when I lowered my car was when I lowered one bolt (LF), the RR height would go almost proportionally to the adjustment. That also affects the weight shift as more weight is added to the place where you lower, thus raising and less weight on the opposite side. It took some fiddling before I was able to get both front heights even with each other, and both rear heights even with each other.
Here is a great article on just that.

Last but most important, after you finish your adjustments, get the car aligned or your tires will wear prematurely.
