Default Eibach Sportlines sagging?

I installed my Koni Red Suspension Kit back in the middle of June. Now it seems like my passenger side is lower than my drivers side. drivers side has about 1 finger of wheel gap, but passengers side has less than one(have to put my finger pointed up to get inbetween tire/fender) passenger side is almost tucking, but drivers side has a bit of gap. Will it settle to itll be the same, or are my springs sagging?

i have the same thing happen to me.... except mine is the drivers side :S yes it sucks. i got a 2 finger gap on one side, and a 1 finger gap on the drivers. i changed struts, sportlines seemed to be good. i even tried putting the drivers side setup on the passengers side and visa versa.. still the drivers side. I am pretty positive that for me.. its the trailing arm bushing thats warn too much and it making me sag... i can see through mine. you should check yours out too...

trailing arm bushings most of the time. They get hammered over time in stock configuration, lowered it happens much faster. Energy's are only a little more than OEM and in some cases cheaper.

They won't effect the fronts, they usually effect the rear and if bad enough can make a wholeside of a car look lower. Did you count the threads? Your spring perches haven't moved?
