I have sold many coilovers in my career....mostly KW...but have to say this issue is something i have stumbled on too before. But don´t know exactly what it is either......wether it is a difference in fenders or body heigt or a difference in space wich you already had with oem springs.......these things are sooner noticed when the gap between the tyre en the fender is so small you can messure more easy by eye.

Also the strenght in a spring being different the the other can be a reason as well, so the one sits lower then the other.
Check out the topics on spring like H&R with people messuring and the one side being a bit higher or lower then the other side as well.

So this is not something wich concerns BC alone and therefore not to put out as an "quality" issue.

What we often did was adjust one side a bit more then the other. I had a VW in the past and all 4 coils were adjusted differently in height to stay egual on the body :rolleyes:
 
Damn, this means I have to go back and adjust again... Guess I'll just do it over xmas because I'm not paying money to get it done.

How many miles did you drive with the Kit now...?? Cause if that isn't that much i'd suggest to drive some more......( well till christmas might be enough ) lett the kit sit in some more and then look at how it all sits and adjust from there.
What i did noticed onces on a car ( Haven't seen the FX kit yet ) is that it depends on how the springs are mounted at the rear.
What i mean is the springs ends at one point,so the end of the spring say on the bottem side is the located on the front...side....or rear position. Check if both springs sit at the same position......that can cause a difference.
Strange i know but at KW Audi's old TT kit this is noted in the manual to check this, so it is at least worth looking in too :tup:
 
A lot of infinitis and nissans have this problem...Starting from G coupes, Sedans and even 350z's.

Im currently on Eibachprokit springs, and I can say, there is over 1 finger gap difference, When u are so close to the tires it definitely is more noticeable...

I've even heard of people lowering one side 1 turn more then the other to match it with an even drop... Sux but feels like they built a lot of these cars on a Friday afternoon.
