Cutting Front Rubber Top mounts?

Ever since I installed my s techs, the passenger sits 5cm higher than the drivers side. Its pretty annoying, I dont want to get coilovers because thats all i ever had before and I never liked how any of them ride for a Daily Driver. Anyone ever cut just a little rubber off the top mounts to make it sit even?

You must mean 5 mm, 5 cm is 2 inches.

If so, that's pretty darn picky because it would be hard to see 5 mm difference. But did you consider putting something under the shorter spring that's 5 mm shorter than the other rather then cutting the upper mounts? Easier to go back to stock that way. A piece or couple of pieces of silicone hose wrapped around the bottom coil should do it.

I hope you mean 5mm. Assuming so, I would not mess with it..maybe you need to refill your wiper fluid to level it out
Seriously, the surface you are measuring on can affect it so much I wouldn't bother
