I am running Bilstein Coilovers. I had to recently raise my front because of the new 17" rims I got. I parked my car in my garage and measured the fender to the ground and all sides are even. But the thing is is that the passenger side coilover is raised like 2 inches and the drivers side is raised 1/2 an inch. I feel that the passenger side is higher then the drivers. The measurments that I took are reading the same height from the ground to the fender. Is this normal or could my ground be uneven? Should I just lower the passenger side coilover and make it even with the drivers?

Instead of trying to make everything even, you should get the car corner-balanced.

Once you are messed up, you have to reset corner balance and also reset ride height all at the same time. Just forcing the ride height could still be way off on corner weights. It's tedious.
A shop (or individual) that does race car set up is probably your only option.

I figured out that my ground is not level. They made it at a slight slope. What Im going to do is drop the passenger side to the same height as the drivers.
