Default Uneven drop on Pro-Kit

I dropped my '91 hatch on Pro-Kit/Tokico blues, and the rear passenger side has always been higher than the other wheels. There's almost 3 1/2 fingers on the rear passenger side, with barely 2 on the rear drivers side. Springs/shocks were installed 4 monthes ago.



Anyone else experience this and have some suggestions in correcting it?

I have the same problem. Had H&R race spings with tokico then switched to tein, thought it was a messed up spring but nope, it is still like that to this day....i have no clue why it does that but if you find out or anyone else let me know too...it is the same side as yours..does it make a knocking sound or any funny noises? its just annoying to look at.ha good luck bro

i wonder why people complain about the pro kit being "too high" .. the word pro should have something to do with functionality id think.. being slammed isnt very functional.

I don't have issue with the height of the Pro-Kit, it's the fact that the rear wheels don't match each other. The fronts are equal in height, but passenger side rear is, roughly, 1 1/2 fingers higher than the drivers side rear. I just want them to (close to) even.
