My 96gt and my 00gt both had a height difference of about 1/2" (left vs. right) when measured from the ground to the fender well. I have since lowered my 00GT with Eibachs (for the verts) and the car dropped about an inch all around, thus the left side is still slightly lower.

Has anyone else seen this and if so how do you fix it?

Thanks
Bryan

I think they all sit like that. I hated that about my car. If you relocate the battery to the right side of the trunk, it will help a ton. Thats putting 30 something pounds back over the right side, and taking it off the left front side.

my h&r SS's really helped eliminat this. my car varied all the way around and now it is pretty much the same on all four corners. since you already have springs I don't know what to tell you. you could pull the battery but I don't think there is 1/2 inch in battery wieght but I could be wrong.
