Default Question on ride height. Spring preload.

Hello, got a day of spring here in the midwest so started working on the RS.

Wheels removed and while inspecting underside noticed rear right shock spring preload is significantly tighter (less threads showing) than rear left. Fronts look the same.

I did have dealer align and adjust last summer.

Car drove great and tire wear looks good.

New tires and brakes going on for summer fun.

Is it just my OCD?

Thanks! Mike

Did they corner balance the car? Threads showing doesn't matter if the weight on each tire is the same. We put the weight of the driver in the seat when we corner balance the car.

I do not have data that shows they corner balanced. My request was to adjust ride height (it was too low and rubbing) and align. I have the spec sheet. Just surprised to see the difference in preload side to side. If you were adjusting for driver weight, would that mean the driver side spring load would be greater than passenger?
