Default Spoon Springs Ride Height ?

I had a set of progressive rate Spoon Sports springs installed yesterday. The mechanic is very knowledgable and well respected with 20years at a Honda dealer. I am positive that they are installed correctly. The ride is great - a little firmer, but basically a stock feel with a slightly lower ride height (approx. 1" lower). The problem is that the front passanger side wheel gap is about .5" higher than the drivers front. After I realized the issue I loosened and retightened all of the pivot points on the suspension at ride height with the weight of the car on the suspension. This way none of the bushings are trying to preload the suspension. The ride height is still off on the front passanger side.

Any Ideas?

I think you should get the springs settled first and see what happens next.

Each corner weighs differently because of the weight distribution of the car.
