M Performance suspension sitting higher on one side

Hey all,

I know this has been discussed on another thread, but it did not have much follow up, so I figured I would ask here.

I have a '21 M2C with the M Performance suspension. Rear has great adjustability from basically stock ride height to slamming it if you wanted to.

However, the front has me puzzled. The passenger side front is at its lowest and basically has a finger's gap between top of the fender and tire. However, the driver's side front is also at the lowest setting and is about .5" higher (about 2 finger gap). I know that there is a variance of about 90 lbs between the front driver's sider and passenger's, but is this really what is causing the .5" difference in ride height?

Any help and insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Well, what's it sat on while you're measuring, and what's the rear currently set to?

Measuring on a completely level garage floor. All three corners (with the exception of the driver's side front) is 26" from bottom of fender to garage floor. The driver's side is 26.5"-even though all adjusters are showing the same amount of thread both front and back.

Interesting observation. In my research, and in fact in my own car, it's just the opposite; the passenger side sits higher than the driver's side (specifically the rear) with the MPS all the way down. The front I can't comment on because I adjusted it manually.

Apparently the passenger side rear BODY is lower (towards the ground) from the factory, making exact settings (in the MPS case all the way down) different side to side.

From the factory my passenger rear sat 3/16" higher than the driver's side.
With the MPS all the way down the passenger rear is 2/16" higher.

hey guys,

I have the exact opposite problem.
My right front sits really low. I had to adjust my right front to the highest settling and my left front to the lowest. Its almost an ince difference.

Can anyone advise. It just seems so wrong.

Note: mine is a RHD
