Uneven ride height noticed after coilover install

Hey guys,

I've had my Function and Form Type IIs on for over a week and they've settled noticeably. Before and after they settled, the ride height was uneven, about 15 mm in the rear and 10 mm in the front. From the research I've done, most cars are uneven.

My question is, is it better to have equally adjusted coilover height or equal ride height (with uneven coilover height)?

It depends. Personally I like an equal ride height.

It depends on several factor. IDEAL is to get the car corner balanced, but unless your doing highly competitive AutoX or road race you won't know the difference.

The rear slightly lower will increase stability at spee. If thats something you want.

It is entirely up to you.

I have my rears slightly higher than my fronts right now.

I will be making the entire car flush. This will require lowering the back to meet the front.

If you are just street driving you will not notice much, but if its a look think you are after, I would go flush.
