...I probably have to ask a silly question.
I want to adjust the height of my coilover suspension. I'm wondering if I should set the left and right sides to the same height based on the number of turns, or not? Someone told me that I should set the driver's side slightly higher because there's more weight on that side. Is that true, or should I set the left side to the exact same number of turns as the right side?
Sure, I'll translate the text for you. Please provide the text you would like me to translate.
GREETINGS
Monchi.

Hello Monchi,
It depends on how much you weigh and whether you often travel alone.
Some of the older mills I had ridden on were, in fact, slightly lower on the left side.
However, I would still recommend setting the left and right sides to be equal initially. If you find the car is "leaning" after a few years, you can always adjust it slightly or swap the springs between the sides.
Best regards, Rainer.

However, in the case of the VW Golf, for example, the engine is mounted slightly to the right of the center. Also, the fuel tank is located more towards the right.
As far as I can tell, the weight distribution between the drivers should be balanced.
