Translation as far as I can get out of you...
I recently installed the Eibach pro kit on my hatch. It has only been a couple of days since then and the rear passenger side sits a little higher than all the rest.
Whew! That was tough! Dang it's been ages since I've used the shift and period keys!

Anyways, assuming your springs were new, it sounds like you need to give it about a week of driving, if it's still screwey, check to make sure you put it back on right. If you did, then ask the makers of the springs about it.

IF they're used, the might of been ragged out w/a big bubba ridin in the drivers seat.

you need to make sure the springs were seated properly on the top hat and everything else is the same. then, you should reset the bushings by jacking up the car and then resting the normal weight on the car then loosen and tighten all the control arm bolts so the bushing rubber relaxes and set to zero at your new ride height level. bushings also act like torsion springs and can provide unequal amounts of force if they are of different conditions from bad to worse like a decade old car would....
