Ok i have tokico illuminas and tanabe gf 210 springs. My back driver is WAY lower than my back passenger. I have like a tad more than a finger gap on the driver, then slightly more than 2 on the passenger. Is the car weighted more on that side? Obviously b/c Im usually the only one in it, but still is my 150 lb body going to make the car settle that uneven? Forgive me for the question, but Im just starting to venture into braking and suspension. I installed the springs myself and the install went smoothly.
 
Im not familiar with those shocks/springs but if they are adjustable and they were not all adjusted to the same height that would cause that to happen... i know ive done it before. How does the car ride? if it knocks around a bunch then you could have installed them wrong. Ive also done that.
 
Are all the suspension parts brand new??? If not you could have sag or even a defected one from the factory. Sounds stupid but take a day from it and go back and recheck your install in a day or 2 with a fresh mind and set of ideas, could be as simple as a missed bolt or bushing or even a nut that was not tightened properly
 
theres a thread that explains why it might be uneven but i couldnt find it.. i remember shimming through it somewhat.. one of the reasons was because it just does or somethng to do with the mounts
 
It rides fine. Dont notice a single thing wrong. Just annoys me because I like for this car to be perfect when I do somethign to it and this is liek a pet peeve because I know its there. You cant really tell if your not looking for it, but man it drives me nuttttttttssss.
