About a year ago I installed a full Eibach sportline spring kit with Tokico D Spec shocks and struts. Since then I haven't really been under the car much except to tinker with the exhaust, but today I noticed that the left rear body was sitting lower then the right rear side body of the car. From the ground straight up through the center of the wheel to the fender, sits at 26 1/4" and the right side is at 28". I don't know if maybe I didn't seat the springs correctly in the rubber seat or when I had about 300 lbs of weight in the car for 5 months so my wife could get traction, could have possibly warped the left spring? Any suggestions would be appreciated. It sounds like I need to buy a new set of springs but I would rather not have too.

That right there is my worse nightmare, I never let anyone sit in the back seat, and I take out the spare, and i always park backwards up drive-ways/slopes etc.

Rear sagging is the worse thing EVER in my opinion, That 300 pounds is quite a bit of weight to be sitting the trunk especially for that long of a time.

Probably wore more on the left side because that is the seat that gets sat in the most, putting more pressure on those springs, I see it in vehicles all the time.

My old car that had Eibachs did that as well; due to rear passengers, although I am going with the Eibach pro-kit on my 09.
