Measure the length of each rear spring in place - match?

Thats weird. When I installed my KWv1 I made sure the gap on the rear height adjusters were the same on each side. My car sits just fine.

Searched and found this.
So no resolution to this issue? I'm having the same problem ST v1 passenger rear being much higher thread counts AND it's still 1/4" lower than driver rear.
I wouldn't mind it but the threads on the adjuster collar has went down too much so that like 2 threads are not engaged with male threads.
I'm like 8 threads on this rear passenger. Driver rear is nicely sitting like 3 threads.
Let me know.

Btw, how much drop do you guys do?
I got 1.5" front right, 1.4" front left, 1.4" right rear, 1.3" left rear.
Generally left side should be bit higher than right side for driver's weight.
