Uneven ride height after lowering springs
Not sure where i went wrong?
So, I bought the SSC lowering springs from ZZP and a new set of KYB struts to go with them. So I installed the springs and struts everything went smooth. I drove the car for about 500 miles or so now and let the springs settle in before i started critiquing how level it was. The drivers side rear is higher than the other rear. And the passenger side front is higher than the other front. Its about a 1 finger gap difference, so almost a 1/2inch difference in wheel gap Why is this.? Ive been doing alot of research myself and cant find out why, ill be working on the car this weekend doing other things, anything to check while im working on it?
I dont really want to take them back off either but if i really have to i will.
Thanks in advance guys

The front springs need to align in the spring perch properly.
Also the strut mounts need to be aligned correctly as well.

I took the car into the shop and got underneath the car to take a look. The bump stops looked like they were set properly. Also the springs were seated the same on each side and looked identical front and rear. Im just really lost and not sure why this is happening, really starting to bother me. Ive been told im supposed to get an alignment after lowering your car but i dont think that has anything to do with the ride height, only the camber angle...
