Coilover adjustments
I was reading that some people had problems using the original body locating holes and ended up with a car that wasn't centered on the frame. To avoid this, I set up 4 pads (stacks of shingles) under the tires and made sure that all pads were level with each other. Got the car on the pads and found out that the frame wasn't level. By adjusting the coilovers the car is now perfectly level from side to side, ready for wheel alignment and body-centering measurements. The one thing I'm not sure about is that the drivers side rear coilover was adjusted a lot more (at least 1/2") than the other 3 corners. Is this normal?

i wouldn't say 1/2" is normal but i wouldn't worry about it. did you adjust the ride height with the drivers weight in the car and fluids where you want them? these adjustments will change again when you do the corner wts.

No, I did not adjust with the drivers weight in the car. That would make me have to adjust that left rear coilover up even more :(

wouldn't be much, depending on your springs. probably 2 turns at the most. you really need the drivers wt in the car & fluids where you want them when you make suspension adjustments.
