Height Adjustment problem with tein basis.

hello guys,
I got tein basis coils on my G37 sedan. recently I changed my wheels from 20s to 19s. I wanted to adjust height for the rear wheels. I decided not to touch front wheel's settings until i get my spacers.
So went ahead and tried to increase height for rear wheels. found out that at settings as they were, my driver side had less wheel well gap than then passenger side (driver side was lower already).
I had to increase the height anyway so on my coilovers i put settings such that i could count 8 dips on coilover adjustment hub (or whatever you call it, its the thingy on which you rotate adjustment rings)
so now both sides at 8 dips, drove around 2-3 blocks, passenger side still higher.
opened wheel on driver side, added 2 more dips. now driver side at 10, passenger side at 8 dips. Height increased on driver side and the same amount of height got added to passenger side (same 1cm height difference)
i was scratching my head on this one and decided to lower the passenger side 2 dips.
driver side 10 dips, passenger side 6 dips... height dropped on both sides and passenger side still higher. at that point i was done lol!
why my coilovers are trolling me? I am thinking does this has something to do with my front suspension settings? they sit even

which i did, no reply so far :/

To solve the issue, I swapped rear springs Driver passenger side but same issue again. its's 1cm higher on passenger side.
I checked my front struts, they both are on even settings on coilovers but passenger side is higher by 1cm in front too, so this time i reduced passenger side's height by 1cm which made both fronts equal and difference in rear is still about 1/3 cm :/

I know its not much of a difference but it bugs me that why cant i fix this issue after having all possible adjustment hardware :/

should i move my rear sway bar endlinks? :/
