This look like quite a substantial amount! Check that the lower spring retainer is seated correctly over the bottom ball cup. Also check the car for tweak and check the springs are the same length. i assuma you have the car fully loaded with electronics? Check you dont have the droop screws cranked down unevenly

I just completed my 416x build and had a quick setup question. I'm setting up my ride height and noticed that only on the front the shock collars are not even left to right. My car is balanced left to right and from what I can tell everything is built according to the manual. My concern is that the spring rate will be off as the driver side spring is compressed slightly more then the passenger side.

Driver side:

Passenger side:

I do not have this issue with my TB Evo 5 MS. All 4 suspension have an even amount of spring compression to achieve the desired ride height. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
