Default coilover adjustment

I just tried increasing the ride height of my Eibach coilovers for the first time. I managed the front ok, then while doing the rear passenger I noticed that I was turning the wrong way, but then after trying to change it back to how it was that corner now sits 10mm higher than before.

I compared the top thread distance with the unchanged rear driver side and they are equal, so how come the ride height is now 10mm different? I guess I don't want to be driving around with it like that...

Any ideas? thanks.

Try setting the front AND the rear to 335mm from the wheel centre to the apex of each wheel-arch.

Ah, that's it. I took it for a longer drive with a few twists and turns and now it's spot on.

Thanks.
