That's exactly right. Just switch the R and L springs and you're good to go.

maybe you have to have someone on the passenger side more often or long enough so your springs can set better.. and maybe its like that so when people actually sit in car it witll be equaled out??

These are theories kinda like common sense too. i guess but that may be your answer.

oh no problem.. tein is jdm springs right? with japanese writing on them and instructions so i guess they were suppose to be on the RHD cars.. thats what led me to my answer. I'm smart hahaha.
