Icon2 fender gap different, lowered 89 hatch???

I posted this in another thread as well, but wasnt sure it belonged there so here it is...

Yesterday I lowered my 89 hatch with H&R Sports and KYB GR2's, with new KYB bumpstops.
Ride quality is good, but I'm noticing that the passenger rear of my car is about 3/4 to 1 inch higher than the drivers rear - which is driving me crazy, and probably affecting handling.

I made sure to tighten everything with a load on the suspension, I lifted each side off the jack stands by raising at the knuckles before tightening the each strut mounting bolt.

Any ideas or feedback on this?
Should I put it on jack stands, loosen everything up and do the whole tightening process again or give it a few days?

I've lowered both of my other hatchbacks (91 with H&R race, and 02 with Eibach prokit) and never had an issue like this.

I've got the same problem on my car. Eibach pro kit and tokico adj. illuminas. I actually found that the shop installed one of the springs upside down and I corrected it but the gap difference is still there.

My front passenger wheel is also a little funny, the entire wheel sticks out further away from the car than all the other wheels. I've had the frame measured and everything was within spec. Alignments done regularly. Not sure wth is going on with that wheel or if the cause is also responsible for the rear wheel gap.
