Default installed springs

i just insalled some tien s tech springs, didnt get to finish today, started late, i only installed the front two, well the problem is that the passenger side is higher than the driver side after a while they seemed to get even but it is still slightly uneven,

has this happened to anyone?
do i need to just finish installing the rear ones?
or, when compressing the springs do they need to equally be compressed before taking the compressors off after puttin them on the shocks?

if these arent the right questions please give me some pointers

thanks

do you drop the car off the jacks/jack completely? are you sure you put the right springs in? the problem could be alot of things.

1.) Springs could be fake -- in that case, you are most definitely fucked.
2.) They don't need to be compressed evenly, as they are pre-made for a set-height.
3.) Installing the rears will not affect the ride height on just one area in the front. NT.

- Make sure the springs are seated properly?
- Make sure you didn't install a rear spring on the front?
- Sometimes the springs will settle into place once you drive them.

Good luck
