yes but for some reason the left side is lower . im gonna have to take them out and see
yes that was the problem thank youmine was like that.....
could be the strut towers, who knows since weight is continuously being carried on the left side (driver)
Hold on... what was the problem?
Pics?

I have this same problem, been searching forever on the internet for some time now and will be inspecting my struts tomorrow for a wrong install. I did it myself and put in used springs, so could be a number of different things, im thinking. worn spring, bad strut, or wrong install would be the cause tho im not sure. Hopefully i will figure it out tomorrow and respond with a solution with any luck.
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that there's no way that a shock would cause a consistant difference in ride height from wheel to wheel. The car's weight rests on the spring, and what little resistance the absorber is capable of exuding is not enough to change how much the spring would compress.
I had this same problem when I had springs on my car. Thought it was the springs themselves so I swapped them from side to side, but the ride height problem didn't change. Apparently it's pretty common when using springs. The cause is most likely an inconsistency in the body/frame of the car, unless you bought cheaply manufactured springs in which case it could be an inconsistency in the springs. What brand of lowering spring did you buy?

you can get them for half that......
thats basically half of 1000, and if you look around you can find a barely used set for less.
Because cut springs is dangerous and stupid. Yes. Stupid. I rarely call anything stupid since I remain mostly unbiased 99% of the time. But there is absolute NO need to cut springs.
It's not the same thing at all.
not even close to the same thing. The spring rate is now deformed and the spring was never meant to operate at that height. it's dangerous and stupid.
OP, the driver side weight will make it lean that way at first, with time to settle and driving conditions it will even out for the most part.
bad shocks
