Maybe its your shocks and not your springs.... and buy the way whenever you lower your car you always have something in the back of your mind that tells you its not even... forget about that. Put the car on even ground... then see if its still like that. If it is still like that check the shocks and align the car. Im about 98% sure that the springs are not the problem if you said their new. But most likely its your shocks... one side is probably blown or something.

to the best of my knowledge,shocks have no affect on ride height,its the springs that control it.check all your suspension rubber bushes ,shock tops, nuts and bolts etc. also itmight help to jack up the car ,loosen all the shock bolts a little,then retighten them with the vehicle back on the ground,bring it for a good drive on some bumpy roads,to settle everything,then check it again.would deff change the shock also,if your sure its stuffed,but i doubt its affecting ur ride height.good luck.

make sure all the springs are set flush up against shock...that can cause it to set uneven
