Try the loosening of the control arm bolt trick and see if the car settles evenly.

Do you have to pre load anything? Or is that with Coils only?

Ive had the same problem for a long time now. Tein S with Konis here. Nothing seems to have helped. Ive read somewhere that the rx8 ride height sits higher in the passengar rear than the driver rear. Only fix is to get yourself some coilovers.

I have this same problem but with the rear. My passenger side sometimes is lower than my drivers side and then sometimes even. I park it in my garage every night and that is where I judge it. Also, it seems that the drivers rear side didn't drop much at all when I installed them, and my friends rx8 is stock and his rear end sits a little bit lower than mine yet. Help!!
