UNEVEN DROP??? (left to right)
hey guys, maybe im completely stupid...but i just lowered my 05X all 4 sides 10 ago using coupe springs. Had an experienced mechanic do it. Not sure if i noticed this before but for some reason now the back left sits a finger length lower than the back right. After measuring this quickly w tape measure, it seem like just about a 1/4" difference. I have a pretty full tank of gas, but its actually on the side that rides higher so that cant be it...i beleive i am on even ground when i checked...nothing heavy in the trunk.....I also havent gotten around to getting an alignment (been waiting until springs settled some)....
assuming (hoping) the springs were a matching pair (picked them up locally) is this an installation or alignment issue?

its pretty common, even on stock cars. only way to ensure perfectly even drop left to right is with coilovers. the weight distribution left to right isnt perfect but the springs are the same

re
lookswise doesnt really bother me much, i mean u can only see 1 side at a time right?
im just making sure this uneveness side to side isnt going to cause any issues with suspension/tire wear/etc etc
got the springs on a few weeks ago, still due for alignment, maybe it will fix it???
