    I swapped out the stock springs with h&R springs, I lowered the passenger side front and rear coilovers and assumed that if I measured the thread distance on the passenger side coilovers then I'll I'd have to do measure and match on the drivers side. I did this, and the drivers side is still an inch or so higher than passenger side. If I lower the drivers side coilovers more I'm sure I'll be able to get them to match up but I'm wondering if it's bad to run one coilover lower than the other?

    Thanks guys

    Why did you install H&R springs?

    Make sure that the springs are "clocked" correctly and seated in spring perch as intended.

    The right way to do this is to set the ride heights to the lower rear chassis pick-up point front and rear, not to the bodywork.

    Secondly, after setting ride heights, you want both tires on that axis carrying the same weight--this is known as corner weighting.
