Also make sure the top rubber cone mount is sitting the way it should be and is seated properly.

I did make sure all was seated properly.

I have it adjusted as good as it is going to get. There is only about a 1/2" difference between the coil spring height between the 2 sides.

Try adjusting the opposite side front perch and see if this balances it out any better. Before doing any more adjustments though. Have a friend measure the heights with you in the car. Then adjust the heights. This really need to be done on the flattest road you can find, if not the accuracy will always be off.

This is definitely what appeared to be my issue and I did have to readjust the front once everything started to make sense. The place I was using has been used for at least 4 (The FD, a BRZ, S550 and my old NB) other cars suspension install that I can think of. All of which never ran into the issue I was having.

Still haven't gotten it aligned, my brother used to work for the Ford dealer so, he's pulling a few strings to be able to align it for me next saturday.
