REAR LEFT FENDER ISSUE

so i bought some m2 lowering springs for my yaris and all of them seam to work nicely they droped 1,5" of height i can barely get 2 fingers in each fender except the rear left which i just can fit 1 finger and it touches the wheel , so i checked under the car and the springs look exactly the same compressed but i don't get why is it lower in that fender? ,so a friend told me its a "yaris thing" that he has seen many others lowered with the same problem no matter the lowering springs (eibach,H&R,tein,m2,manzo,megan) so i want to know if this is true and are there any solutions for it?

thanks

I have heard of this before. The rear axle I think is offset a bit for some reason.

yup. my spring perches are of uneven height to balance it out. And also you may notice one wheel will be more flush and will have to use one extra wheel shim just a tiny bit.

So there's no actual solution? �� I'll have to stretch my fender then so it can fit and stop touching the wheel

that sucks. i'm glad I came across this information. I would think your only solution would be to roll fender, or to buy adjustable coilovers. I now know not to buy springs.
thanks!

I would be more interested in having more ground clearance so my wife doesn't keep hitting curbs with bottom of bumper when parking.

From what if heard and experienced in other cars coil overs make the car jump a lot but it does give the lowered look and stability you need
