I was getting ready to cut my stock rear springs 3/4 of a coil to bring it down 1/2 inch, so i wanted to get a starting point so I could measure the aftercut effect. The air in my tires are at 32 psi and I measured on three different sufaces in my drive way and in my garage...my right side of the car is 3/4 of an inch higher than the left. I measure the lip to the ground, i measure the lip to the tire, also rocker to the ground. Well i aborted the mission until i learn what is wrong. Any have any ideas??? 
Please dont say cut 1 side...... scary, i was thinking about it for a second but I dont dare!

You must have installed that Hurst shifter wrong!

Great, he's frustrated and you're making jokes :nono: BTW, try to spread out the body in your trunk so that the weight is evenly distributed to both wheels
Seriously, is your driveway sloped to one side? Even a slight slope will change the distance by quite a bit. Try it at a gas station maybe ??

3/4" seems like a little much but if it helps, mine is 1/4" higher on the passenger side, but only in the back.

Well my problem is solved, I cant believe a slight grade would make that big a difference, it was even different in my garage
. I measured it on the concrete pads at the gas stations on my way to work today, only about 1/16' difference, wow, that is more like it.thanks everyone! Now, how do I close this thread???

You can really never go by line of sight when figuring out if one side is higher than the other unless you are on a surface that has no difference in grade. If there is just start drinking heavily and eventually it should all look the same
