Coilover adjustment query
Ola!
I fitted my Tein super-street coilovers on the weekend and need to adjust the ride height. I know how to do this, however just wanted to double check something
With adjustable coilovers, would having each corner on the highest ride setting (ie highest from the ground and the collars put to the bottom of the strut) result in an equal stance all around (so front and back at same height) or would the back end be higher than the front?
With mine, the rear is higher than the front so is this a simple case of adjusting the rears to match the height at the front rather than making the same adjustment on the strut itself? (height as in height from the top of the tyre to the arch)
I am pretty certain I just need to adjut the rear ride height, but wanted to confirm it first.
Thanks in advance

No it won't. You need to take your bseline measurements and adjust accordingly.
Weight will differ from side to side, not to mention shock length as well as spring length/spring rates.
