Default Lowered my s2000, doesn't sit level

I just put springs on my s2000 and the passenger side sits lower than the drivers side, is this normal, does anybody else have this problem?

Alignment wont usually affect ride height itself will it???

messing with the strut towers during the alignement could possible seat the springs a little better. maybe you installed them wrong. what kind are they? *prays i dont get EBAY as a response*

1. make sure the ground you are on is leveled before measuring...
2. make sure the springs are installed properly...
3. check to see if the springs are sitting on the perch properly...
4. give it about a week to settle...

if it's still messed up... you did something wrong on the install...

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna take the struts back off and make sure the springs are in there right.

The springs lowered the car about 2 inches. What is kinda weird is that before i even put the springs on, the driver side sat higher than the passenger side, all they all like that? I know the springs are on right.
