The purple is what made me get out the tape measure, right before I craved a grilled cheese. But no seriously it leans, on the sticky or not.

maybe it's also because you take right turns much faster than left turns, thereby shifting more weight to the left than the right causing the left springs to compress further than right springs normally. i've definitely noticed that this may be a reason also. entering on highways, exiting highways, and right turns are always faster for me than left turns through an intersection or a uturn.

maybe its so that the vehicle rides level on crowned roads. did you ever notice the "steps" in our headlights? the headlights "step" upwards towards the passanger side of the car to make up for the slope in most roads (a crown shape).

i am truly surprised that someone noticed a 1/4" height difference with the naked eye, that is impressive!

I discovered my 350 was slightly lower on the left side too when I measured before putting my h-tech's on. Now with it lowered, it's even more noticeable when looking at the wheel gaps, especially on the front.
