Default Socal Help

I have had my springs installed for a good couple months now however there seems to be some kind of height problem. Diagonally it sits lower than the other. At first i thought i should wait until the springs have settled in but that didnt work. is there anyone that can help me out? I would take it back to the shop i got it installed but there is some dispute with them. id really appreciate it if anyone could help me. Im running eibach sportlines BTW. i already contacted eibach and they said maybe the preloading wasnt done right, im not sure so if anyone can please help..

all is good with your shocks/ strut right? I did mine a few months ago but I also changed out the shocks. I've got some time on my hands and don't mind taking a look. Not rocket science really. Might just mis-alligned or upside down.

i doubt new shocks will change your ride heights. it's not unusual for ride heights to differ. as long as your alignment is where you want it i wouldn't worry about it too much. take coilovers for example... your final heights aren't necessarily determined by looking at the fender gap... you'd raise or lower the suspension at opposing corners to match cross weights.
