There was a thread about this sometime ago. To sum it up, congratulations, you bought a 28k car that one side is intentionally higher than the other. lol

I think you have to spend atleast twice that to get a car that is perfectly level. As I stated in the some time ago thread, my 1999 ford ranger was the same way, it's normal.

Did you tighten the shock mounting bolts before or after lowering the car back to the ground? I read something about preload. If you tighten the shock bolts when the car is up in the air then there's a slight chance the suspension will not be even on both sides. You need to put the car on the ground and then torque the shock bolts tight.

OMG...I have the exact same problem, I wish I would have measured before I changed everything. I put in a fays2 watts link, all new control arms, sway bars, d specs, and sportline springs at the same time. I had everything off and put on in different combinations of the stock and aftermarket parts about 5 times all with the same result. The passenger side right rear is 1/2" higher than the driver side. It really pisses me off. I was going to have to go to a psych ward because I couldn't figure it out.
