That's what different size spring pads are for. Our cars are not perfect.

My car is always lower on the front passenger side so I have always had a pad bigger on that corner.

Don't trip potato chip, just get a size smaller pad on that corner for yourself and call it a day. And if you are rolling on #1's all around already just take out the pad and go zero.

i haven't noticed any left and right height diff, but i'm now considering replacing the front left pad with a #2(#1 is on the front right now).

i usually don't have any passengers in this car, so the front would probably be sit closer to even with 175lbs and a #2 pad left and #1 pad right in the front.

make sure the spring is properly seated in the spring pad and where it sits on the contol arm. If its turned just a little out of its seat it will raise the car a considerable amount.
