kk just installed tokico blues. now i see that the drivers side is sitting higher than the passenger side. i took the shock off again to see if it was hemmed up but it wasan't. the car has blue steeda springs on it and its a convert
so what side is the bad side the one that is lower or higher cant figure it out.
drivers side looks like its got a lift kit on it

just went outside and noticed the spring on the drivers side the first three springs are not as close as the one's on the passenger side. the passenger side the first three springs are tight together and the drivers side the first 2 are tight and then a little apart on the next one.

I would just make sure the springs did not get disturbed and are still seated in position. that would be the only thing affecting ride height.

i think it happened when i raised the car from 1 side first to set the jack stands in place. when i was jacking it up it looked kind of different.
i mean the wheel was way down low like a 4x4. this got me all hemmed up . i think thats what happened the spring is not seated right.
i mean a spring goes bad and it should lower the car not jack it up
