level vs set up
 
My SC is a half an inch lower on the passenger side vs the driver's side. but it handles great. I want to make it level . What's the way and do it,and will I have to corner balance again?

Was the half inch difference after a corner balance? Perhaps you have to take into account drivers weight.

Your best bet is to have the car corner balanced if you have not already done so.

Also, there are differences in build accuracy from one side of the car to the other. My car is corner balanced and all that good stuff, but if you're measuring fender height alone you may see a difference.

What I'm saying is, don't trust the body work as an absoulte guide. Use it more as a reference.

Function over Form...
If your car is correctly corner balanced and the ride height is slightly off from ft lt to ft rt then you will be sacrificing the handling of the car if you level it out. Even though it is only off by a half inch that makes a significant difference in your corner weights.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

You can lower the car to a certain height and have each side F/R be the same, but if I understand it correctly, a corner balance may cause the left and right front (example) heights to be slightly different.
