Pneumatics right?
If so make sure both of your lines are the same length otherwise you'll find that one will always fire an nth of a second sooner.
If you can't find a place where it makes sense to use the double solenoid and keep the lines the same length; try using two single solenoids, one on each side.
Otherwise stop, shift, then continue.
