Default Skunk2 coilovers...its not straight?

Ive adjusted my coilovers on my hatch and I cant get them level. I use to just use measure the heights by finger spacing to make them level. Is there a tool that I can buy to make adjusting coilovers ,making them level. (Right to Left) easy and more accurate?

keep playing with them, it may take some time but its something that everyone has basicly had to do at some given time with coil overs.

I had this problem with my civic ex, what it turned out to be was at the top of the coilover(where the car sits on) the spring wasnt properly housing correctly. This caused the car to sit kind of at a pivot, just make sure everything is making contact correctly, also, make sure that you set each one up evenly. Sometimes it takes a little while for everything to settle into place.
