Suspension GURU'S please help

Hello All,

I have a 2010 GSR. I installed eibach springs about a month ago. I noticed that my front right and back left set higher than my front left and back right by about 1/2". I have put all the struts back in their original orintation. What would make the car sit like this?

* How i checked height was by measuring from a flat surface to the center of the wheel well. Also made sure tire pressure was the same.

Thanks,
Jim

there's a rubber seat that the spring sits against on the top mount, maybe one of them didn't make it back in when you put it back together... only thing I can think of...

Um. I don't think that the torsional stiffness of an Evo X is that bad. Are you sure that the ground was level?
