3510.301 are the front springs, 3514.202 are the backs. did you install with the pigtails on the lower side of the perch facing the driveshaft? And let me guess, the drivers side rear is a little lower than the pass side?

Well to start with, you need new lower isolators BAD.

Yeah, it looks like one isolator is missing and theres only like 1/4 of the other isolator left. You NEED them otherwise it WONT sit right. Second, the spring on the passenger side needs to be rotated CC about 45 degrees. That pigtail should be lined up parallel with the axle pointing towards the driveshaft. That right there can change the ride height on one side by up to a half inch. The drivers side, it's not the same as mine. Look at my sig... I have the complete set. My back springs are coiled the oppositte from each other. Yours are coild in exactly the same direction and I dont know why. Your D side pigtail is pointing toward the outside of the car, when it should be the other way, IF its the same pro springs, othewise, something isnt right. Those part numbers, you installed both the front and back, right? And both back springs have the same number on them, right?
