uneven ride height?

My passenger side seems to sit a little higher than the driver side no matter how much i adjust the coilovers. I am using HKS hiper dampers. Does anyone else have this problem, with these coilovers or any others?

This is a well-documented idiosyncrasy of the FD Rx7...

Well if i put my stock springs back on would that solve the problem? It would also stop the rubbing i suppose, i think that the stock springs have a better spring rate than that of the eibach's anyways...

When you guys say a little higher than the driver side, by how much?

My passenger side is a full 1 inch higher than the driver. I was assuming it was because of me since i hardly ever have someone ride with me. I was gonna go to home depot and get 2 80lbs bag of cement and put it on the passenger side to even it out lol

*ninja edit
must recheck info

anyway adjusting one corner will change the height of every other corner of the car.

but you dont want even ride height, you want even cross weights. ive seen corner weighed cars that came out looking funny. i'd just live with it.
