ROW M030 suspension height difference?

[GranburyChuck]

I just finished installing the ROW M030 suspension on my car and was noticing that the fender heights looked different side to side. I measured about 1/2" higher on the passenger than the drivers side (front, rear pretty close to even). I know that the struts are bottomed out into the hub carrier as the tab stop on the strut is touching it on both sides. I torqued down the strut top nut as specified. I used the 3 mm spacer that is suggested from the Porsche manual for the ROW suspension. The bottom of the coil spring is touching the end of the pocket on both sides. Only thing I noticed is that I did not get the strut mount nuts back into the exact location they originally started at on the passenger side. Seems like that might affect caster more than ride height. I am at a loss. Anyone got an idea?

If you are measuring from the fenders to the ground you might never get the same height. This is because the vehicle especially the body is not always true. Proper way to measure is using the measuring points under the vehicle.

I measured fender to ground, fender to wheel center, fender to rim protector on tire. All of them gave essentially the same answer.

As stated the body is not true. The only true way to measure is from the identified reference points under the vehicle using a true (measured flat) surface as the ground you are using is not equal and flat.

My C2 was perfessionally adjusted, aliened, etc., and the distance between the fender lips and the ground is different on each wheel. In your case your suspension is fixed (not height adjustable) so it should be fine. Does the vehicle drive straight or pull?

I put the Porsche X74 suspension on a C2 last year and the measured distances where different on each wheel; however the vehicle tracked straight and when brought in for a wheel alienment was pretty close even though the vehicle was dropped in height somewhat.
