How is that possible? Only thing I can think of is the shock is blown?

Spring sag on the Tein's. Also my car's coilover adjustments are not all the same from corner to corner, side to side, front, or back. They all have different height adjustments. I didn't find this out until I had the car corner balanced. There not much diff. just a few millimeters from each other, so a round or two per coilover higher or lower. The tech said it was due to diff. rates of spring sag. If you read Tein's warranty they allow for 5mm of sag so 7mm is a 1/4 inch. Your car could be a 1/4" off on the one coil.
