You can't fix it. That's the problem with running lowering springs on cars this old. Should have gotten adjustable coilover sleeves.

Bushings not clocked. That's the only other thing I can think of.

Aftermarket bump stops? A couple months ago when I did my Konis I decided to reinstall the OE dust boots. I also initially reused the stops off of my old S2 shocks since they were in great shape. Dropped the car off the jack after putting it back together and the rear was locked up around stock height.

Turned out the S2 stops were slightly larger than the original ones and didn't quite fit in the dust boots. Put the OE ones back in and everything was fine. You might want to check there.

Coils were installed backwards. Swap them. Plus, if you're on the old stock shocks, expect it to be uneven.
