Default Eibach's sitting higher on one side?

Got a question S2kI. I put on my Eibach pro kit about 8 days ago. I made absolutley sure to pre-load each corner the same and correct way, torque every nut to spec, and seat the springs on the (stock) struts correctly, but somehow.. my passenger side is noticable lower in both front AND rear then the driver side. I would LOVE it if the passenger side was as high as the driver side ( about 1" lower ), but theres barley a single finger gap in the front and its causing rubbing problems I also made sure to put the front springs in front and rear springs in rear. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks!

It sounds like SOMETHING had to have gone wrong durring the installation, I don't know what, but double and triple check everything...its probably some minor detail, and that why that detail was there.

I just installed my springs last week. At first it seemed like my front passenger side was higher than the driver's side and my rear driver's side was higher than the passenger's side. After a week of letting them settle, it got better but not by much. So I thought it could be tire pressures. When I went to go fill up my tires on some air, they were all sitting correctly. It seems like the very slight incline of my driveway was the problem. It might be a silly idea, but it may be the same reason for you. That and the tire pressure thing.
