Default ride height uneven

has anyone experienced a certain side sitting lower then the other side? my drivers side seems to sit close to 1 inch lower then the passenger side after installing springs. They have already settled and have been on the car for over a month. Just curious to see if anyone had the same issue.

What springs did you use? Did you verify that the you installed the springs correct(seated properly, fronts were not installed on the rears/vice versa), not damaged, or just a crappy brand? If you're a bigger person, your driverside may be a bit lower than your passenger side but not that much of a difference.

My passanger side sits about a quarter of an inch lower. I even loosended everything up, pre-loaded the suspension again, and then tightened every thing back up. Still sits the same. HOWEVER, there shouldn't be an inch difference.

um.. 1 inch is an issue. That's ridiculous. If you're positive you pre-loaded everything correctly, and you have the correct spring on each corner, I'd return them.
