So i've had the wr prodrive bilstein struts and blue eibach springs fitted to my 1999 uk turbo for a while now, fronts have been on just under a month and rears about week and a half, but i have a 5mm difference in height with drivers side being higher?

Sometimes it doesn't look too bad but it's defiantly bugging me!

Anybody had this before i whip the front strut off for closer inspection? Have checked the springs are seated in the lower cups correctly and they came preassembled so can't see what could be wrong?

Mine is the same with drivers side higher then passenger.
Was like it on OE setup and also Bilsteins with various combinations of spring.

Whenever I measure after a change everything has changed by the same amount +/-1mm but the front Drivers and Passenger side have always measured different to each other.

Having just checked my latest measurements there is 8mm difference in height and that's easured the same on 3 different sets of springs (P1, Eibach and Tein). I think it's something to do with driver weight, but not had it confirmed.

Seems to confirm it

That makes sense, my 330d sits higher on the passenger side as originaly they were designed as left hand drive and all of the battery, fuel tank etc is on the right.

I didn't realise it was so common with other marques too? did a search and found nothing on here but on a BMW forum there are lots of posts about uneven ride heights.

Nice to know there's not something wrong though and someone else has noticed the same problem:-)
