Rear coilover adjustment very different side to side

Are they set to the same height on both sides? The pics look like they differ. I can tell you from doing around 10 sets of coilovers on the Z

Are they set to the same height on both sides? The pics look like they differ. I can tell you from doing around 10 sets of coilovers on the Z the front right (battery side) and Rear left are the "lower/heavier" corners. They are approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch difference.

THe difference you have is not right in anyway.

Here are my questions.
1. Is the preload set to the exact same amount? (should be set at around 1/4 to 3/8 inch).
2. Are these used? Are the struts in perfect working order and are not blown?
3. Are the spring the same length? Manufacturer may have varied spring heights and maybe messed up here.
4. Do you have any excess weight on the rear of the car. I.e. subs etc.
I have found that every 50 pounds or so lowers the rear approximately an 1/8-1/4 of an inch depending on the spring rate type (8k is typical for rear).
