Default .2 gt3 ride height

The rt. frt corner of my .2 gt3 sits about 1/8th to 1/4 of an inch lower than the lt. frt corner. It doesn't sound like much but it is very apparent to me.

I also noticed that the lt rear is about 1/4 inch lower compared to the rt rear. I would imagine that any irregular road surface would yield a difference, but I have moved the car several times to different roads and still notice it.

Anyway, is the OEM suspension height adjustable? I didn't think so but wanted advice. Is this height difference acceptable? (BTW, no lift on my car, the tires pressures are equal and I'm certain that there are no shipping spacers in the springs -the dealer/service removed three per side frt.)

TIA...

was your car corner weighted? That could make a small difference in height, the driver's corner being higher...

^ No.

The service writer said that the height is adjustable. I'll have it checked next week. If it is (adjustable), are the shocks threaded for minute height adjustments?

Thanks.

Threaded? I'm trying to find out if small turns (threaded) change height or clicks? I know I'm not explaining myself well, but I obviously don't want to move one side to click 4 and leave the other at 3 for example; hope that makes sense, I haven't had coffee yet.

The shockers are threaded and have two large locking nuts that are tightened against one another. You can dial up any size change that is required so you will be able to get heights on each corner to any height you like... No preset clicks or adjustments... Hope this clarifies...
