I recently installed a set of coil overs off a tsi, on to my eclipse GS, and everything sat even, well the rear shock broke last night, so i put the stock suspension back on the rear, now the car sits crooked as the right side(which is the one that broke)is about an inch or inch and a half lower then the left side. What could have happened? Please help leaving for a road trip soon.
 
What happend was your running a coil over on 3 sides and an OEM set up on one. That is is I read it right...

Get a new shock for the broken one and you will be good, untill then take off the broken side setup and put the coilover on the stock shock and run it like that only untill you get your new shock in. Ofcourse this is all based on you having a kit that will work on a stock shock. Your other option is to adjust the coil overs to sit even with the stock side. Also

I would not go on a road trip with out having gotten a camber kit and alignment. Goodluck.
