Coilovers getting lower itself

[Couna777]

So I installed my coilovers about 2 weeks now
Seems like one side of rear is bit getting lower than initial height ..
How is this possible ?
Maybe something loose ?
Did it happen to anyone ?

New coilovers? If so, that's normal. You should wait with the final ride high adjustment and aligment till the springs are set.

Most likely the springs are settling in. Other case could be if you didnt tighten the set screw on the collar and its turning downward but that would be super rare.

So today I jacked up the car and adjusted my coils in the rear again
I counted exactly same thread on both rear side
And driver side is like half inch higher ...
How is this possible ..?

The passenger side has the battery and a few electronics in that area. Could be more the extra weight that makes it sit lower. 1/2 inch seems a little excessive though. Was this coil over set new?

I don't mean to hijack the thread but it seems related.

I've done a couple or so thousand miles on the M performance HAS, got an alignment after 1-2 months after install. My passenger front height sits around 3cm lower than the driver's.

I never got the height recalibrated though after alignment. Should I do this? or is the height difference normal?

I checked a normal 3 series and the passenger side is actually quite lower than the driver's.

It's weird because when I look at the car from the front, it's almost as if I actually can notice the height being lower on the passenger side even though it's only a few centimeters.

What is the brand of the springs you are using?
