Ok, so I just installed new Eibach Pro Kit springs, struts & shocks on my '89 GT convertible, but the right rear is about 3/4" taller than the left rear. I also put new isolators. Can anyone tell me what could be going on here, other than the springs are a different length or 1 could be stiffer than the other one?

Only things I can think of are maybe some of the old isolater is stuck up in there, or they gave you different # rate springs?

Could just be the way the car is sitting. Did you try and move it around to different spots see if it looks the same?

Are both spring installed with both lower ends facing the driver side. It makes a difference in height which direction you have them facing.

Like you said, some spring are longer than others to compensate for there always being a driver and not a passenger. Therefore, there may be a driver spring and a passenger side spring and you need to pay attention to that. Also when installing, twist the spring till it comes to rest in it's final position (where the bottom end of the spring comes to rest into a notch in the isolator)

Most times, uneven rear ride height is caused at the front of the car, it's just more noticeable in the rear

I don't get it. I drove it some today, and now it has pretty much leveled out. It doesn't seem like it would need time to "seat", but that is what it seems like it has done.

Noobz went into your garage while you were sleeping and relocated the rear passenger spring pigtail to face the driver's side. Also, he says your out of beer.
