Default suspension install problem

i installed some tokico illuminas paired with h&r sports on my 94 accord . i know i installed everything correctly (i've changed the shocks and springs on my car a several times before) . however, with this setup, the front ride height is fine, but the rear ride height is a little off . the rear passenger side is about an inch higher than the rear driver side . i inspected everything, but cant seem to figure out why it is doing this, does anyone have any idea what the problem is ?

i doubt it, but could this be an alignment issue, or maybe the shock setting ? i set both of them to 3 in the rear . to give you an idea, this is what it looks like .

driver side:


passenger side:

I had Illuminas/H&R Sports on my 1.6EL and it did the same thing. After 4 months the springs settled and it was pretty close to be equal at all four corners. Odd i know, but maybe it just needs to settle?

The ride is nice on those by the way, you'll love it.
