Default coilover height question?

Where do you measure from to set the height on coilovers? Also is there any other factors to consider? I have measured from loads of places and they are all the same but one side of the car still seems slightly higher than the other. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Matt.

Without corner weighting etc, you're best to set it up to a fixed point on the bodywork. I used the radiussed edge of the wheel-arch, across the centre-line of the wheel.
