I have steeda sport springs and the drivers side sits about 5/16" lower. The car is on level ground with no weight in it.

It’s a sophisticated type of explanation. During the testing facility at steeda, it was found that during the drastic corning maneuvers and aversive maneuvers sharping around the tracks then more traction would be held with a increase of side due to the positive physics of Nathan, which is executive of such spinning of the right rear tire during drag racing (think right rear air bag). During the teasiment of testing it was found that increasing the passenger height (actually 3/8”) would hinder more down force around an apex of a corner. Actually I have no idea, maybe just off level.

Funny reply. Anyway, it could be spring orientation, how it sits in the A-arm or LCA and even manufacturing tolerances.

Well 5/16" is well within the Ford specified tolerance of plus or minus 3" height from one side to the other...
