Default car sitting crooked!! but WHY?!?!

i just installed those kyb agx struts and eibach pro kit springs. and the drivers front is really low compared to the others, and the passenger rear is a little high, but the other 2 are ok. so what could be the problem? i did them all exactly the same. im baffled.

Are you sure you didn't get the springs mixed up? Did you put a rear spring on the front, and vice versa?

My car did the same thing. It wasn't THAT bad, but different parts looked lower and higher. Now, they all look the same. I think you need to give the springs a chance to settle (try 2 weeks) before you start worrying about that kind of stuff.

yes the springs need to set. also, did you install the rubber bushing that goes on the top of the spring? you might have left it off on one side throwing the height off.
