I put Tokico HP blue shocks on my stock springs. I have noticed the ride height of the passanger side rear is ~ 1 inch higher than the driver side rear. As measured from the ground.

The issue is, when hittitng bumps in the road the car feels like the entire rear end moves with the bump or comes loose and slides. Just a slight amount but from my seat it feels considerable.

I am going to take out the rear shocks and recheck to ensure they are assembled correctly and the springs are sitting correctly. My question though is this normal, or perhaps a side affect of going with the Blue's which may not be properly matched with the stock springs? Any oppinions?
 
Nah that's not normal, but it's kind weird that you just put this up cause about a week ago my buddy around here had that same thing happen to him. What he plans on doing is just going with a new setup, but you definetely shouldn't have to!! I have a set of HP at all four corners and B&G springs along with those, and all of my corners are at even heights. I would say make sure that you have the correct application of shocks (i.e. for the AWD or FWD, since you said it was the rear that is off measured). Besides that, you may have just put in this a little off. Try again?
