Rear ride height

Just fitted some brand new meisterR coilovers and noticed that on the rear
the passenger side is slightly higher than the drivers side although I never adjusted them just put them straight on.I had the same problem with all suspension set ups I have had.I have an adjustable panhard rod do I need to lengthen this to cure the problem?or is this not the problem?thanks

Mine was the same. I adjusted the ride height to balance things out so you'll probably have to do the same

Has the car been driven since fitting them?

Yeh I have driven the car!it's been the same on every set of suspension I've had

Any ideas guys?also on the meister R's do you adjust the height by the spring or do you wind up the bottom part after loosening the bolt at the very bottom as the front ones don't look like they undo at the bottom.thanks again

Sounds like the regular panhard rod issue mate. Give that a go but I can remember someone having to adjust his coilover on that corner to solve it a while back.

First: ONLY adjust the ride height using the lower bracket.

Second: At time there can be uneven ride height as cars have different corner weight.
The beauty of the Dual Perch Coilovers such as the MeisterR Zeta-R is that you CAN adjust the ride height independently of the springs or damper stroke travel.

In another word, you CAN adjust the ride height using the lower bracket, but the actual "moving" parts of the suspension stay the same.
Therefore, even if the bracket height are not equal left and right, the moving parts of the suspension remain stay the same.

So you can adjust the lower bracket to different length to suit the car, the long as the spring preload is the same then you are fine.

Firstly thanks for the coilovers jerrick they are brilliant and straight out the box the rears were very low!!!haven't fitted the front yet as got trd coilovers on the front and got to book on alingment for them.do the front coilovers go lower the same way it's just the lowest collar on the front are black wereas the rears are red so do these lower differently?
Thanks for the tips guys will give the panhard rod a go and see what happens Rep added!

What is this 'panhard rod' issue? I've done tonnes of searching on here in the past and not come across this once - I do have a whiteline one on my Glanza, and i still had to adjust the height of the spring so they were the same at the back

The one are black because the bracket is made of steel, so you want to have a steel collar.
The rear one is red because the rear backet is alloy, therefore it you got an alloy collar to go with it.

Alloy is lighter, but you need the steel in the front for strength due to the MacPherson Strut Setup.
