Rear Left sagging w/Tein Coilovers

For some reason the rear left (Driver's side) of my car is lower than the right. I had the adjustable spring perch set to 1.5 on both sides (RR and RL) when I first installed them but now I raised the RL perch to 2 inch. It's not as bad anymore but it still sits lower. I'm just wondering if anybody with full coilovers are experiencing this. The ride seems pretty good but I don't think Tein made the adjustable perches to be set 1.5 on the rear right and 2 inches on the left for an almost even drop. Oh, the front sits dead even.... So what do U guys think????

I had to do the same thing with mine.... the car is heavier on the left so its not as noticable until you lower it....

Ok good to know I'm not the only one. What height settings do you have the rear set at?? I noticed when installing my coilovers that the fuel tank is right next to the strut on the drivers side, maybe that's causing this.
