Default SKUNK 2 Spring Problem

Alright, so I got my car dropped on Friday. I was walking around the car the other day and I noticed that the driver front height is different from the passenger. I looked at it from the back and it’s actually a big difference because you can see the car is tilted. I thought it was just my eyes so I had a couple friends come look at it and they saw it to... DAMN it, it wasn’t just me. Well this is the same side that is making a CLUNK sound when I take a turn and hit a little bump or something... do you guys think the spring is messed up or installation was bad? BTW this is on a 2008 4DR Si and i'm using just the SKUNK 2 springs w/ stock shocks. Thanks for any help... and i'm going to call the shop that did it later on so I will write up on here what they say.

thats what mine looked like until i realized they were backwards. the fronts were on the back and vice versa. mine were tein s-techs.
maybe the shop mixed up the fronts with the backs.

Thats what i was hoping also but the only thing is the back sits perfect since its higher than the front so i doubt thats it.... is there a way to mix up putting it upside down??? or are the both sides of the springs the same?

Honestly, I have no idea... I didnt even look at the box when I got them. I just put it in my trunk and went to the shop 2 weeks later. My friend has it on his coupe and his came out fine. Theres always something new with this car... damn it...

my rear sat perfect also with the fronts back there. it was only the front and only on one side where it looked off.

hmm... possibly... thanks for all the input. I made a call to the shop 10 minutes ago and they told me to go ahead and bring it in on Thursday at 12 so I will let you guys know what’s going on. Hopefully it is something stupid because I don’t want to have to buy new shocks/springs.
